Its not that important. Just trying to learn as I go

 

I do ..
If Jim Motley becomes President, I'm taking over the state rep, here in Michigan ..

 

For everyone that didn't know what I did for a living, I was a working
( foremen ) mason . Here's one of the best jobs I ran, it's was moving the Gem Theatre 2 and a half miles down Woodward Ave.

Here it's new home site .


Moving the building .

PBS also did a documentary on this building, from start to finish .
I'm also in that documentary ..

 

I'll have to check that documentary out. I will watch that right now. That's pretty cool stuff, I love history. Do they mention you in the documentary?

 

Not by name, they would of had to pay me then .
I'm just in the documentary .

But on another note, lost a brother ( union worker ) yesterday .

Here's an image of myself .
My hair was much longer in the documentary .

 

Interesting stuff Rick, and that's one heck of a project. Sun-baked clay?

I cringe every time I see historic Class IV buildings blasted, re-pointed, modern kiln bricks stuffed in place, and held together with rubberized paint and wishful thinking.

I have a late 20's deco building that was a Sinclair and getting ready to rack up district action against the dot and local gov for slipping in some BS changing the boundaries of the historic district with what appears like an agenda to raze it for parking spaces in the process of spending tons of non-existent funds, with and on themselves of course.

The only thing they did wrong was not notify me prior to their circuitry.

I have another interesting structure with a fed funded bridge abutted on its retainer wall. We'll have to chat about that one some day.

Let me know if you ever need an expert in Chapter 12 FTA stuff with respect to non-noise stuff from class I to IV structures, engineering or fed law.

 

The city of Detroit was so broke, the Forbes bought the building and paid to move it .

 

What did it cost, building purchase, new site and then moving it? 5 mil?

 

Had to be more then that .
We also added onto the building, with the basement being , 30 feet underground and level out 50 feet above ground .

Top floor was the penthouse, for the Forbes ...

 

then I'd guess 50 and likely a bargain not having to pay cali-union scale or deal with caltrans' very rigorous protocols and expensive red tape.

 

Then why did you ask?
