Construction Progress

The new Erb's Tarp Shop has sprung (literally) from the ashes of the old. 

 

Maybe they could call it Erb's Phoenix Tarp Shop.  Some of the old building was recycled but a sizeable pile of debris was burned before the new shop foundation could be poured.

 

In two weeks time (as predicted in this column) the new building was up, sheeted-in and roofed.  Today the heating system (in-floor hot water) is in and interior work is approaching completion.  David Miller and family will be moving operations from their temporary location in the family workshop, back across 515 to the new building in another few weeks.

 

By contrast . . . the new covered bridge (alongside Rt. 39 between Carlisle Printing and Walnut Creek Cheese) couldn't move much slower.  The question has become, "D'ya think they'll finish it in the year 2009"?
