The momentum picked up this week, and we were able to complete the structural fills and soil compaction testing for all the footers for the pillars. Additionally, the keyways have been created for the retaining walls. Rebar installation and footer forming for the pillars are complete. For the keyways and retaining wall footers, work is planned for next week. Overall, this week's progress is significant. We also purchased a large amount of steel for the building, which is staged and ready to go. Xcel and core application reviews are complete and ready for buildout. A schedule from them will be published next week.

The rain continues to hinder us; we weren't able to make significant progress this week. To give you some insight, we are required to fill the holes with structural soil at the correct density and moisture, then compact it and test it. This process happens for every one-foot section to the top to ensure the ground's strength is reliable enough to support the foundation for the pillars. Due to the rain, we're not getting consistent results, and the engineers are hesitant to certify it with the foundation for the deck pillars, as it could pose safety risks. The team is doing their best to manage this situation. Other logistics related to Xcel for gas and Core for electric, including clearance paperwork, are complete for this week. We hope to pass the tests this week, and the concrete teams will then proceed with the next steps.

This week wasn't a good week; we couldn't make much progress due to the weather. The moisture in the ground prevented us from passing the moist test to backfill and also from setting up the pads that support the pillars for the patio. The holes we dug filled with water, and we had to drain them multiple times as it rained several times. I am hoping for a better week next week.

Another week brought significant progress to our project. This week, we successfully completed the foundation work—removing all casing, finishing insulation, and conducting concrete quality and break tests. Backfilling has commenced, filling the entire foundation with soil and ensuring proper compaction. We also finalized the steel purchase, including beams for the entire site, and completed the water installation.

A lot of mommentum picked up with retail space construction. Things are progressing with some delays but we will catch up as we progress

Construction is underway with tremendous momentum, featuring pouring of concrete, installing rebar in stem walls, embedding plates for structural support, and pulling water lines for utilities into the building.

This week has been slow with little progress. Everything was prepared for pouring the concrete with stem walls. However, heavy rain on Wednesday caused water puddles on the site, resulting in the postponement of the concrete pour to next week. Utility and waterline work continue; they are working to extend to the west side. Next week, the plan is to pour the stem wall concrete, backfill soil into the foundation, and continue utility work. I added some structural drawings for your understanding.

Foundation casings are build with with rebaring. They will go thru the inspections and then pouring

County water lines are being actively routed into the site and building, ensuring a reliable water supply.
