Never let it be said that I don't give the fans what they want.blueandgoldblitz wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 12:32 amThanks for doing the project. It'd be a lot of work and I don't expect you to do it, but it'd be really cool if you put the date of the picture in the corner every so many pictures or something. Just food for thought. Thanks again though!
Good job man, I appreciate all the work and effort. Thanks again.AFCAT wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 1:40 pmNever let it be said that I don't give the fans what they want.blueandgoldblitz wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 12:32 amThanks for doing the project.

Thanks a ton for doing that! I really didn't expect you to! It's really cool to see the seasons go by and the progress happen. Thanks again!AFCAT wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 1:40 pmNever let it be said that I don't give the fans what they want.blueandgoldblitz wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 12:32 amThanks for doing the project.

Other way around. The BAC is a much better facility and design that what SHSU is building! MSU went about it the right way and demo'd the space they wanted to build, rather than what SHSU is doing and renovating the space that was already there.Montanabob wrote: ↑Mon May 10, 2021 4:16 pmI'm just not really seeing that this blows our BAC away....
Looks like almost the same design.
Yeah, SHSU's is a facility remodel. A field house renovation to be exact. The BAC is a new facility, new addition to campus.ND0479 wrote: ↑Mon May 10, 2021 4:31 pmOther way around.

I’m guessing the project managers are ****** bricks at this point. I’m guessing they are AT LEAST 3 months behind. And it’s not like there’s any skilled labor in Bozeman availible to get Er done. There’s zero excess construction workforce in Bozeman right now.
I've been wondering the same thing. My cousin is building a house and locked in his quote with his contractor before everything went through the roof. He was just telling me that if they got a bid now the same house would be 150k more. Makes a person wonder about the BAC. However, we will likely never know the actual costs of this if MSU has had to pay more. Who knows.onceacat wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 10:15 pmI’m guessing the project managers are ****** bricks at this point. I’m guessing they are AT LEAST 3 months behind.

I’m also curious about the budget at this point. Steel, Romex, PVC have all doubled in cost if not tripled since these bid packages went out. Even Sheetrock is up 20%...
Any word on cost overruns?
We have pix on here from 2 weeks ago, and they were partially done hanging drywall. Zero doubt they are behind, because they’ve already pushed beck the completion date by a month.
Don't remember them pushing the timeline. They don't have to be 100% done to be able to move in and use the facility. Wouldn't surprise me if a small crew was still there for awhile after they move in.onceacat wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 7:53 amWe have pix on here from 2 weeks ago, and they were partially done hanging drywall.

I wouldn’t bet against them, but they are definitely going to need every last secon between now and Gold Rush.
I noticed a Friday crew now for several weeks. For most of the project Fridays were a day off. I assume overtime is a possibility to make up time (assuming they have material).Hawks86 wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 8:04 amDon't remember them pushing the timeline.

I know most Fridays last Summer and Fall were half-days. I wouldn’t count a day of construction on my video screen shots unless I saw a worker there on a Friday. It seemed like all of the workers disappeared after 1100hrs.gtapp wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 9:46 amI noticed a Friday crew now for several weeks. For most of the project Fridays were a day off.

Here are some completion months that MSU has posted online. Now, I don't know if these dates were wishful thinking on MSUs part or if the construction has been pushed back at all. The folks at the Alumni foundation are now targeting the middle of August, which is approximately three months away. I have my doubts about the BAC being completed by mid-August, but I'm not a part of the project (other than donating a lot of money to it) in any way. Keeping my fingers crossed though.Hawks86 wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 8:04 amDon't remember them pushing the timeline. They don't have to be 100% done to be able to move in and use the facility.
