Super Mike P.

Hey Mike P. Thanks for being an unsung hero to the people of Campbellsville and the Merchant Tower project. Your blood, sweat, and tears decorate the building, literally. Blog words can’t express my gratitude.   But, I’ll try –  Thank you. W P.S. Thanks to all.

Hole in the Hot Tin Roof

Glass on Premise

Here’s a shocker.  Glass windows are on the premise.   Some attempt is being made to install them by vendor(s) who do this for a living.

Bracing for Safety

March 2009: A plan reveals itself on how to overcome numerous load bearing issues. Worked on job site logistics, bracing and teardown. Finally, a strategy to demolish portions of the 3rd story wood rot and 40 foot high weak brick wall is devised (brick-by-brick).

Storm Damage at Christmas

December 2008: Christmas lights hang from balcony for the 1st time in 20 years. Harsh winds blow apart the 2nd story entryway. More plywood added on the windows to keep the wind forces out.
