Blow – Out – August 14, 2014
Dropped off Scott & Pops at the car pool parking lot at 79th Ave & the I-10. Car was shaking at higher speeds. Pops and I looked at the tires, we knew it was a front end thing, but did not see anything. 5 miles to my house. I debated getting on the freeway, or taking surface streets. I took the freeway …… BLOWOUT!
2 new tires, check. New windshield washer wiper hose, check. Lots of electricians tape, and zip ties, and silicone to put things back together, check. Massive blister from touching the wheel……….. check! The cars back together, with the exception of a new fender liner, which is ordered, and lots of scrubbing to remove tire from the paint.
Yep its OFFICIAL!!!! Our name is on the building, and its NEON!!!!
The basketball area is getting close to being finished.
Biggest 1 week improvements ….. The interior is really coming together, and looks A M A Z I N G !!!!!! This is going to be a trophy/showcase of a building.
Walnut. Its INCREDIBLE!!!!
I’ll post more tomorrow, or over the weekend, its 10pm, and I left home this morning at 5. Just finished the car repairs.
More photo’s from August 7, 2014
Another view of the main “round a bout” or “circle” drive in front of the main GoDaddy entrance.
Looking at the main entrance from the curb. The northwest corner of the parking log was paved on the 5th, and 6th. You can see some of the planters that will adorn the areas outside the main entrance and in front of the cafe areas.
Northwest corner of the building, looking south, towards Warner Road.
View from the roof, looking west over the main entrance. You can see lots of workers on the job site. Greg with Ryan Companies told me that there are over 225 workers on site working towards the September deadline.
More asphalt.
There are always workers up on the roof, finishing details.
Approx 800 cubicles on the second floor. Power is too all of them, and lots of workers working to make sure the networking cables are in place.
There are 2 pallets of glass holders in the main lobby area. These will line the second floor areas that look into the main cafe and main lobby areas.
First floor furniture is being built. The first floor work areas will look and feel like the developers area on the second floor in Gilbert.
The desks, work tables will raise and lower, and are on wheels so they can be moved easily. They contain UPS’s and cable trays built into the underside of the tables.
View from the stairs dropping down to the main “court” area.
You can see the number of block layers working on this one wall. It was finished by the time I left the site today, and they were working in another area building more planters.
All images shot with the Canon 5D Mark II, EF 17-40 F4 L lens, or the EF 24-105 F4 IS L lens. Inside shots used the Canon 580 EX II Speedlight for flash fill. ALL images shot in the last year can be seen here.
3 weeks to go – August 7, 2014
I added a few pictures from today. I’ll upload more tonight, and post some comments as well. The site looks AMAZING!!!!! Its getting closer everyday.
There will be a “round a bout” in front of the building, this is the planter that’s going into the middle of it.
Corner of the building closest to Warner and the 101. The main power comes into this corner of the building, the kitchen, and the pump room for the A/C units are all on this end of the building.
Ceiling in the cafe. Its going to be an amazing space for us to eat in.
They poured the concrete around the “basketball/volleyball/hockey?” area today. I cant to see the “sails” installed over this area.
Main TV in the cafe. Its going to be a really B I G one.
Coming Soon – August 1, 2014
