The best snow removal system is definitely warm weather. All of those snowblowers that would not start (including mine) are no longer an issue, and the shovels can be put on standby until next winter.
Here's what's happening with construction this week:
Bird Island
Demo work and clean up will continue for another month.
Up Next:
Civil (infrastructure projects and land development that support public life) and the vestibule will be going up.
Olivia
Area E (New Entrance)
Sheetrocking and MEP continue
Inspections next week
Roofing is water tight
Windows are installed
Up Next:
Finishes, tile, paint, flooring
Area D
Survey done on existing buildings in relation to where the new building is going
Pre Summer Slam AKA "Shake 'n' Bake"
Science Rooms
Framing work begins
MEP rough ins started
Concessions
Flooring has been abated
Demo of interior space and poly over window areas
Trophy cases removed
Nexus is trying everything they can think of to get this project moving along faster, including changing the operation title from "Fast and Furious" to "Shake 'n' Bake"
If anyone ever sees anyone standing around out there, just yell out "Shake 'n' Bake!" and that should get things moving.

Greetings BOLD Community,
As the wind whirls and whips, those of us with hair are walking around like punk rockers. Some people pay a lot of money to have hairdos like we are sporting today.
Unfortunately, there is a downside to this much wind, especially when it comes to construction. The wind is making it difficult to get much done on the roof right now, and the impending snow will also cause some delays.
Area E (new entrance)
Windows – completed; door frames on the north side installed, holding off on glass until the majority of work is completed. Main doors will be one of the last items installed.
Roofing started- all is watertight except the clerestory. Pulled off yesterday and today due to weather, snow this weekend likely will push the completion to the end of next week.
MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) inspection – need roof 100% watertight to complete pulling wires and inspected
Drywall one sided completed. Waiting on MEP inspection then can close it up.
Area D (new addition)
Working on layout, footings and foundations- there are many areas where the dimensions are not jiving with the existing building. Meeting with structural engineer to find resolution today.
Bird Island
Demo of building started. Working with Structural on the shared wall at the gym.
If you have not yet taken advantage of Mother Nature's free hair salon, I suggest standing outside for about 30 seconds, and you should be good to go, unless you're bald.
Stay safe this weekend.
