Why North Carolina?

I feel as if it is my turn to finally add to the blogging world. Where are we now? North Carolina. Why? To build the monster you see in the picture above. In the wide world of construction there is one thing that is inevitable. Unless you are the ONLY show in town you are going to have to travel.

That is why we are here in North Carolina. I had the opportunity to come up here to the steaming metropolis known as Kernersville, North Carolina, to help build an $85 million dollar facility known as Kernersville Medical Center. I am working with some great people, learning a heck of a lot, and enjoying seeing a different part of the country (most notably Duke University’s Cameron Indoor Stadium).

The building is a 230,000 sf hospital that is owned and operated by Novant Health, a power player in Healthcare on the East Coast. The hospital, when complete, will be 5 times that of what you see in the pictures. The pictures include sections of Area A and B.

The difference between working in North Carolina and Alabama

It has been fun so far. The job will end in Spring 2010. That seems a long way away, and my wife will second that. But, things have been flying by out here and before we know it we will be finished. It is still hard to believe we have been here living for nearly 4 months.
