The building is built. Day before yesterday the workers showed up around 8:30am and began to work. It didn't rain but there was a lot of low lying clouds and fog so mist was the issue and everything was wet. But this did not hamper the work at all.......

















That was the end of that day and the yesterday they showed up and finished the job with much better weather.......






I will more than likely build a 10' deck in front of this for tables and chairs at some point but for now I think I will just throw up some steps for the time being. Now for the electrical and water.

Well, the builders came up from Augusta, Ga. this morning and got here around 11:30am and got right to work. Here are a few pic's from todays work.......






They left at 3:30pm and will be back at 7:30am to complete the brewery building.

So I take and measure out and mark where all the devices and instruments will be installed on the control panels front plate.......


The fun part is going to be drilling and cutting out the square holes.......


But that is what a jig-saw is for.......

I ordered my 20gal. kettles from Stout Tanks & Kettles back on Aug 7th, 2012 and have been told that I should be getting them sometime end of Nov - Dec. They will look like theses.......




I have most everything else ready to be put together and be waiting on the kettles when they arrive. I will be posting the pictures of what I have thus received as well as a list here in there of all the components. First I would like to post the Electrical Diagram that Mr. Muth generated for this build.......


I have added a thing or two but will not change the overall intent and use of this diagram. Pretty much what you see will be with exception of different colored lighting scheme and the addition of two green lights to go with the red indicator lights for the selector switches used for the 5500w ULWD elements. As well as the addition of the digital voltage and amperage displays which will also involve two small transformers, two ac -to- dc convertors, and one 50a AC Shunt.

Here is a sample layout of the front of the control panel of most of the items I have already received.......

The building materials did show up this afternoon and the delivery driver for Home Depot did a great job in getting all the materials to the backyard right next to where the builders will build the building come Monday.......


More later.......

I went and laid out the area in the backyard where we wanted the building to be built.......



I then decided to set my lawnmower on the lowest setting and scalp the area with about a one foot clearance outside the footprint of the building........


The materials are to be delivered today from Home Depot as the builders are suppose to start Monday.
