Hot Rod Fabrication Facility
We are getting very close to having the building permit. My mom spotted a newspaper article and tipped me off to an after work get together at the Lincoln County Economic Development Association (LEDA). I attended, along with Tom. Got to mingle with a few motorsports personalities. Doug Herbert was there and so was Ray Evernham. Both helping to promote LEDA and their own projects. My big news was hooking up with some of the people from LEDA.
I got a call the next morning. The young lady from LEDA had already contacted the Lincoln County Building And Land Development (BALD) office and the NCDOT driveway permit people. She found out that we are very close to getting permission to actually start our building! I have a minor issue with right of way for my driveway permit to be approved. The only thing holding up the Building Permit, is the driveway permit!! I should have the whole thing completed this week 11/28.
The weather has not been conducive to pouring concrete. It has been unseasonably cold, as they say. I was able to borrow a skid steer from Skidmore Builders, my GC. After 3 days of scraping and digging, I have the 60x100 site 65% leveled. I cut about 15 inches away from the high corner and transferred the clay (not dirt) to the low corner. I will try to get that clay compacted, prior to starting to dig the footers. One of those big rollers with the giant spikes is available on the adjoining vacant lot. I did get permission to borrow it. Now I need a bulldozer to pull it around. The skid steer would just do wheelies, if I tried to use that!
The building steel is still going to be delivered December 2nd. It is safe to say that the foudation is still a few weeks off! It looks like heaters and tarps will be needed to keep the heat in the concrete, so it can cure properly!
I can't wait to start building some hot rods and hot rod parts and pieces. In the mean time, I ma still hoping to sell some of the Autoloc products available at www.flyinghammerllc.com .
