It's a family affair

Building materials have arrived and we couldn't be more excited! Seeing all of the lumber sit out front is a welcomed sight. Next comes the footings to be dug and poured, there were so many!

       One of the things we love about being located in Coopersville MI, is the fact that there are so many families involved with our build as well. In the cement truck is Scott Van Oeffelen, his boys go to Coopersville schools and because it was Veterans Day this past Friday, they had a half day. Scott's wife Nicole, was able to bring her son to watch his dad work right in his neighborhood! Being a family owned business we know first hand the importance of love and support a family has when it comes to work. Its makes us so happy to be using people right in our community and seeing families support each other. 

Support posts in and trusses up! Things are starting to look like a building now!

Work Boots Required

11/7/2016
The ground work for the new pole building is DONE! There have been many truck loads coming in and out of all the dirt leaving and sand coming in! It has amazed me at how fast Kuperus Excavating have been working and how much they can accomplish in just one week. Mark and his crew are a great team!

        The driveways are the next thing to have happen, they started working on those today! We are planning to move a driveway over and add a new one, things are starting to look different around here!


You will start to see the frame work happening this week.  Coopersville Construction will be the ones putting the building up and Ravenna Lumber has been great to work with on getting all the materials.


We are so blessed to have great local companies to work with on this project!

Ed and Tim Alt planning with Mark Kuperus, about all the rain we got this past week.

Tip for if you plan to stop and take a look: Heals don't work so well on a work site! I think I might have to start keeping a pair of boots, not booties, in my car or at work so that I don't sink into the sand and freshly moved dirt. I am seeing so clearly why work boots come in handy around a work site! If you stop by don't forget to "Check in" on Facebook so we know you came!
