Got a little side distraction today. I set one of my monitors on the security cameras (4 of them) that used to give a view of our north truck lot and exterior of the shop. Now they just show the inside of our new freezer that is under construction (25,000 sq ft). I have watched footings, foundation walls, five feet of compacted fill, steel framework, insulated panels, couldn't watch roof because cameras are aimed down, and glycol lines all going on. Monday I turned the system on and saw that they had poured the grout on Saturday. Tuesday and Wednesday were spent laying vapor barrier and foam board, and setting tube forms around all the uprights to isolate them from the slab. Today they came in with the laser screed and riding finishers. This is the first time I have watched a laser screed in operation, and it is damn impressive.
Jump to about the three minute point for the action:

Tomorrow I will look at the replay to see when they finished. 925 yards poured and finished in one day! Not rough finish, this is glass smooth.
I said "WOW" to our CFO on my way out the door this afternoon, and he said schedule is for the boom lift and scissor lifts to be in on Monday to start running refrigerant lines and hanging units. Once the units are hung, the racking will be stacked in, the final wall sections will be put in, and the building will be sealed for the final installations.
