All the clay spanish roof tile made it from china and all came in perfect condition. There is also 6000sqft of clay floor tile that made it with the shipment. Over 100,000 lbs in total... (one of the semis had two flats on the trip to the site... LOL) Sweet deal, just make sure your drywall is made in USA!  www.usatoday.com/money/economy/housing/2009-03-16-chinese-drywall-sulfur_N.htmQuote from the article: The drywall from one China mine used by Knauf contained iron disulfide, a naturally occurring mineral. And from Wikipedia: Sulfuric acid is formed naturally by the oxidation of sulfide minerals, such as iron sulfide. The resulting water can be highly acidic and is called acid mine drainage (AMD) or acid rock drainage (ARD). This acidic water is capable of dissolving metals present in sulfide ores, which results in brightly-colored, toxic streams. |

Amazing progress Fly.
Soon you will have to post aerial photos. How about getting one from atop the telescoping forklift? You need a mote with a drawbridge.

Wow!
Contractors who rock - PRICELESS!
I think it is looking more like a church than a mini-mall. Lets see - The Scientology Center for Co-ed Monastic Theology. Time to start a rumor. ;D
