LOCAL NEWSPAPER

I had a local newspaper stop by to ask about doing a
story on the conversion to Big D. The young guy who
came by was pretty fired up about having a big screen
coming to his neighborhood.

TIGHT SCHEDULE

We are on track to finsh 11/15, but with the schedule being
so tight any bumps along the way could throw us behind.
Canton Georgia is one of the nicer places I have worked in
a long time. Southern Hospitality at its finest. The local
people along with the theater staff are so friendly I can't
help but smile.

CRUNCH TIME

Every job has a crunch time and this project has reached it. 26
days to complete this project and I am feeling froggy.

BIG D ENTRY

We are framing and roughing the electric in the new
entry. The fire sprinkler sub has not started yet,
which holds up raising the promenade ceiling to 9'.
This is a small wrinkle that will be old news next
week. This week will determine weather we make
our completion date.

CANTON DEMO

We are demo-ing the new entrance to the Big D auditorium. This
project is unique in that it is a single auditorium, no lobby
or concession shut down. If it were not for the tight schedule
this job would be a breeze. I am fortunate to have 2 great
subs on site so far, electric and framing. These 2 trades dictate
whether a job is smooth and successful. So far,so good.

OHIO STATE

I forgot to mention the Buckeyes are now ranked #1.

That did NOT last long. I now am hoping for the Bucks
in the Rose Bowl, if not Michigan State has not gone lately.

CONSULTING PART 2

My weekend consultation went well.The single screen can be
divided into a twin screen with stadium seating! My client
was very happy with the news, now I will give him a budget
with three different options to work from. He then can decide
what works best for him or possible not afford it.

CONSULTING

This weekend I am looking at the feasibility
of splitting an auditorium to add another
screen for a client. Hopefully I can still catch
the Buckeyes game and some playoff baseball.
XM radio was invented for people like me.

GEORGIA BIG D CONVERSION

I have started a project in Canton Georgia converting a 650 seat
auditorium into a 550 seat Big D studio. We are raising the ceiling
to accomodate a larger silver screen and raising the stadium seating.
We have 42 days to complete the project in time for Harry Potter 3D.


Harry Potter will be 2D.
