Drove by Carver yesterday….. they have a hell of a hole excavated and it doesn’t look like anything else is going on
Any updates on the construction schedule?

Yeah I heard they only raised enough to dig a hole and this has pushed completion back about 10 years. Total bummer.
You’re such an asshole….. It was middle of the week…. No structural materials around that I could see…..no activity
I’m just asking if there’s some kind of delay in construction cause nothing was going on
Does that deserve such a douche reply?

Meh it’s early August. Nothing really going on. Why not? I did find the part you edited out to be amusing so I went for it.
I get it……but you really are an asshole
That may be true, but in this case, I thought he was funny. I am not trying to stick up for Spooner, but every now and then a blind squirrel does find an acorn.
Par for the course. Hopefully the key donors know exactly where the construction progression is & deservingly so. Otherwise the rest of us should probably get use to the fact and be happy that it's ultimately going to happen, but I wouldn't expect a lot of updates. The program is built on success, not communication. I'd like both, but I'll choose success.
All things considered I feel like they've done a pretty good job. There was a heck of a lot of lumber to clear away from there. I don't know anything about construction, but the bottom of the hole looks level and ready for construction. Seems like it's proceeding just fine to me.
We have a building being built here that was shut down over a year because they couldn't get the huge exoskeleton steel fast enough to make it worthwhile to move in. Just started hauling it in a couple weeks ago, and it is starting to go up fast.
Yea it’s packed and looks like it ready to start pouring some concrete …. Like Cowboy mentioned maybe there’s a delay getting the steel and I’m betting it’s expensive right now with the supply issues
He’s “our” asshole…. The cesspool pivot manThat may be true, but in this case, I thought he was funny. I am not trying to stick up for Spooner, but every now and then a blind squirrel does find an acorn.
my original post was poorly worded….. he’s just keeping me on my toes 😎
I think of Spooner as a much-valued "room guy." No offense intended.
Sitting at the ticket office now….. there’s a backhoe down in the hole and a bunch of rebar piled around today so they’re working but don’t seem to be in a hurry 😂😂
Huge compliment. It’s once again obvious that I’m easily the best poster on the board.
A legend in your own mind …..
I think they may have a ways to go with the hole. The new tunnel is going to come into the arena about where the pep band sits.
Rome wasn't built in a day, and this won't be either. Patience grasshopper.
Probably just red tape crap. Takes 2-3 years to build a roundabout where I live. Lol
Dubai builds a 2700 foot skyscraper in 30 months. Freedom Tower in New York took like 12 years.
A good rule of thumb to tell how much work is being done at any construction site is the number of port-a-johns that are on site.

Par for the course I assume. Our city dug a hole in our front yard two weeks ago. They've been by once to look down into it for about fifteen minutes, but otherwise it just sits.
Yes but the top 1/3 of it is useless because it sways so much it makes people sick, and it is not connected to the sewage system so sewage has to be trucked away.

Took a drive by the BFH and happy to report there were guys with hard hats and bright vests working.
If they have the rebar on site, it will be weeks before you see any progress. They will have guys tying rebar for footings and foundation work. It is slow and terrible hand work.
Probably 1 guy working and a bunch of “higher ups” standing around.
So crisis averted? This is most excellent news. 😏
Amazing what you can do with slave labor nowadays
It could have been if they used Mexicans. We need Mexicans running that rebar.
You joke about that, but the UI once dug a hole for a new pool out by the Hall of Fame and even had a ribbon cutting ceremony for it, and we all know how that turned out.
There was probably a pause to properly identify any possible ancient artifacts, Then of course you have the DNR making sure all of the toads, frogs and mice are safe from extinction.
If the FBI showed up, then you have a whole other set of problems.

Or maybe just the team or next sub was on another job that they hadn’t completed yet. Fairly common these days.
No chance of Polar Bear sightings, so we got that going for us.
Hopefully Gobblin and the boys are keeping a sharp eye and a Remington 870 close for a wandering Northern Spotted Owl.
That is far too logical. Spice it up a little, I am starting to think “Room Guy” moniker is getting in your head.
I heard work stopped because they found Jimmy Hoffa. Word on the street is he thought wrestlers were sissies and 83% chance he met his demise on a bridge near Iowa City. Time to lawyer up Cesspool old timers.
So whoever killed Hoffa buried him 15 ft deep in Iowa City……makes sense…..
so maybe they’ll name a wing of the facility after him?

I thought we did a nice job with the concrete, though.
Why Hoffa and not one of the others that we, uh, used to bolster the rebar?
So many "donors" and so few places to put names. Sigh.
