Culver Garden Court Start-up

by

Culver Garden Court had a project closing yesterday at the HUD offices in Indianapolis.  FINALLY!!! The closing for this project was similar to a closing on a house where the mortgage is finalized, the previous property owner receives a check and the ownership transfer is made.  In addition to this, the HUD closing for this project included the finalization of contracts for the construction of the new Garden Court facility.  I was back in the office about 4:30 yesterday afternoon and the first round of purchase orders were sent releasing the surveyor, excavator and concrete contractor to begin work.

Culver Garden Court Site Plan

HUD requires the project to break ground within 10 days.  This should not be a problem at this time of year.  Everyone has been waiting for this project to be released for months.  There will be a separate ground breaking ceremony on April 8th at 2:00pm for anyone interested in attending.  Odds are there will be actual construction going on in the background at that time too.

The project has a 12 month time line.  We anticipate being out of the ground within a couple of months.  We should be weathered in before winter allowing interior finishes to be completed regardless of the weather.

Construction Whodunnit

by

A workman was killed at a construction site.  The police began questioning a number of the other workers.

Based upon past brushes with the law, many of these workers were considered prime suspects.  They were a motley crew:

The electrician was suspected of wiretapping once but was never charged.

The carpenter thought he was a stud.  He tried to frame another man one time.

The glazier went to great panes to conceal his past.  he still claims that he didn’t do anything; that he was framed.

The painter had a brush with the law several years ago.

The heating, ventilation and air conditioning contractor was known to pack heat.  He was arrested once but duct the charges.

The mason was a suspect because he gets stoned regularly.

The cabinet maker is an accomplished counter fitter.

The autopsy led the police to arrest the carpenter, who subsequently confessed.  The evidence against him was irrefutable, because it was found that the workman, when he died, was hammered.

These horrible puns were sent to me by Electrical Staffing in their quarterly newsletter, Current News.

Happy Evacuation Day!

by

St. Patrick’s Day isn’t the only holiday being celebrated today.  There are a few people around Boston, MA celebrating the day the British troops evacuated during the Revolutionary War.  Since 1901 March 17th has been an official holiday, Evacuation Day, in Suffolk County.  It is celebrated in several other cities on the east coast on different days based on the day the British army left those areas.

Wonder what color beer they’re drinking…
