John Cote says: let me show you how it's done, up

Drop it right in here

A diamond in the rough

Square cut or pear shape it's ready

It's very form fitting

A family affair L-R Mike, Tyler and Adam McKinney

Like soldiers, standing straight and tall

Poised and waiting to be filled up

High and dry (8/10/10)

A good choice color wise

We find this very insulating

Where both are joined together

A day at the beach ...sort of

Mike McKinney... like a big kid playing in the mud

The dance is about to start

Lowe's is up early...on 8/18/10 time 7:16

At 8:41 a.m. on 8/18/10 it was off with the old

And at 5:36 p.m. the same day on with the new

Sorted and placed to need out back 8/18 8:31a.m

Ready for action.....Pat Mondor

The floor joists all spaced out

Adjustment needed....help on the way
L-R Mark & Patrick Mondor, Edwin Berry to the rescue

All jobs need a good supervisor...we got Leo

Solid enough to walk on

Where did that come from....about 11:00 am

Setting the 2nd truss

Holding it together

Getting the trusses all in a row

Playing King of the Mountain

On 8/20 the team started at 7:30 a.m. and this was taken about 10 a.m.

At 8:42 a.m. they were setting lines on the back side while the other team was 1/2 way across the front

At 10:45 they were looking at the point where East meets West

The place is marked as Carl himself takes a look and gives the go-ahead

The work day is finished and all is quiet

In the setting sun the roof lines are joined

A perfect job from end to end

A perfect bond 'tween both parts

We spared no expense on this ultra modern stair way

Hard at work at 7:11 a.m. on 8/24/10

At 7:12 a.m. the rest is going too

About half way up with new roof at 11:19a.m.

The front side is woven together at 11:20a.m. by master weaver Mark Mondor

New stair way to the bargain basement

This will be the main entrance door

and this the office area

Chris the Plumber a working bill-board

the light at the end of the tunnel

What comes down one way

Also goes up another

Where one sees a place of peaceful tranquility

The pantry sees a bee-hive of activity

A donation from Saco Parks & Recreation to end the summer activities

A great way to start the day. The Saco Lions Club donation of $500.00
L-R Donna Corbeil & Bob Nichols

This is the slack time between major happenings.
The building is up and now we have some down time before the finish work commences in earnest.
A good place for some humorous pictures

An agreement with the city to close the entrance on Ocean Park Road was reached and they wasted no time checking things out.
