Construction




Our work neighbor is constructing a new building.  It will be a new 37,000 square foot building whose main tenant will be a Carolina Ale House.  I started taking pictures when the building on the lot was being demolished, however, I have not shared the pictures before.  I park in the deck adjacent deck and have a fairly decent vantage point.  I am going to start from the beginning and go through the current date.  In the future, you can find posts on this topic by either the label "Construction" or "Carolina Ale House."

After more than 2,800 miles on that bike since last June, it needed some more work. The headset was pretty much shot and would not be repaired in time for our planned trip to Virginia. So Gina suggested that I get a new bike. I ended up getting a Giant Revolt Advanced 2 from Giant Wake Forest . We arrived at our rental house very early Saturday morning. 1:30am in fact. We found a place to stay that was literally steps away from The Virginia Creeper Trail . Saturday was to be a day we went hiking at Grayson Highlands State Park . We met Gina's co-workers at the park just after 10:00 am and started our hike. We have camped at this park before with the Boy Scouts but have never ...
