A magic moment.

.. of things to come.

Future home of ....

But to begin, we started with a vacant lot near an airport.

Dig some holes, 100 feet this-a-way and 100 feet that way.

Stir in a lot of rain.

Make mud.

Move the mud around, says Judd.

How deep?

Supervisory committee.

Judd, to whom the chapter owes much.

Three of these had to be placed just so.

Judd and Wayne got it just right.

Can do it -

the conduit.

If we make it, they won't drive on it!

Almost ready for concrete.

The dirt's gotta come up to right there!

All that work we did making footprints, and this crew just wiped them all out.

Plastic and wire mesh go under the slab. Keeps the basement dry.

Rebar in place, now to pour before it rains again.

My initials are NOT in that concrete. Ask Judd ...

Let it rain!!

Waiting for the concrete to cure ... no, those are not Corvette tracks.

Ok, puzzle fans ...

Here's your hangar!

Tons of U.S. Steel.

Two truckloads.

Its steel going up for the hangar!

About one month to go.

Wow - the steel is up, the roof goes on.

Still moving dirt - the hard way.
