Framing Day 1 & 2

Good Morning!

The Plantation is taking shape and it looks amazing! They have completed the bottom floor framing. They have the windows and doors cut out too! There are no stairs leading to the 2nd floor yet, so I have not been able to walk around up there (to high for me!) But the contractor took me up in the lift to get a couple of pictures before I decided I was too scared to be that high up!!!! Either way the view upstairs is amazing and when they get the stairs in and I am on solid ground I will tour the area and take a lot more pictures :) The pictures are from the first day and second day of framing. They started framing the columns yesterday and will move upstairs tomorrow. Now that the walls are up in the ballroom, I really get a feel for the size and shape. The porches are huge and a perfect romantic set up for outside tables. If I was a wedding guest at the Plantation, I would want to be upstairs or on the porches, it is really relaxing! Enjoy the pictures, I will take more as things change!

Cheers,

2nd Floor Pour

Happy Tuesday!

No time was wasted this morning pouring the second story of the Plantation! Concrete trucks rolled in about 5:30am ready to pour. I thought 300 yards of concrete for the slab was incredible and nothing could top the amount of work and concrete we used to get it done. WRONG! Pouring concrete on a 2nd floor was a site to see! I visited this morning to watch and was completely blown away by the skill involved to do this. As I toured the 2nd floor on a scissor lift 30 something feet in the air, it was like a dream come true. The view from the 2nd floor is like nothing I have ever seen. The Plantation is truly set apart from other venues, and I can not wait for all of you to see what I have seen! Once the concrete is set (around 4:00pm) I will take photos of this amazing view! The back porch and wall will be framed in by this afternoon, the kitchen and guest restrooms are framed and ready for siding!

Cheers!

Steel Day 1 & 2

Good Morning!

We are at Day 3 of steel erection and it is looking great! They are moving fast getting all the beams and joists in place! The Plantation is really starting to take shape now. The pictures are from Day 1 and Day 2. Day 1: Started out sunny and hot ended with wet and muggy. These guys worked right through the rain and toughed it out. They put in place all the columns, these will be wrapped up in white to look like a Plantation!
Day 2: They added joists to secure these columns in place. Some represent the second floor and are starting to frame out each room. At first when we had a grey slab with nothing on it, I thought it looked small, but now with all this steel and structure it is really taking shape and I realized just how big 9000 square feet (with out second floor) really is!!!! More pictures to come in the morning! Have a fabulous Thursday!

Cheers,

Kristin

Steel Galore!

So, the steel arrived, and the workers wasted no time getting the structural columns up! They are high in the sky and easy to see from the highway now! They look amazing! I will be posting pictures later this evening when the workers leave and I can adore the columns in all their glory! Hope you all will come out soon and drive by to see them, before you know it there will be actual walls! :)

I look forward to the open house in September! I hope you will be there!

Cheers,

Kristin

We have concrete!!!

Good Tuesday Morning!

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! As most of my faithful followers already know, we have a slab!!! I hope you got a chance to come by and see it in all it's glory! It was a long process but they got it done! We started at 2:00 am Friday morning! I was there to witness all the fun and it was amazing to see it all happen. Everything went smooth and perfect as they poured 350 yards of concrete into the ground!

Things are still moving along nicely and you can expect to see red iron going up soon, they will start with the exterior beams (22) and then they will work their way up to the 2nd floor and roof. The 2nd floor pour is scheduled in a couple of weeks. I can't wait to see that!

Come out and take a peek this weekend and get a feel for the layout of the building. I can not wait to have our first wedding out on the wrap around porches. The views are incredible, and will make beautiful pictures.

Cheers,
Kendall Plantation
