Facilities Project Delayed One Year

Seats are coming from China. They'll be sitting in a container off shore for at least 18 months.

Yeah, but the Chinese seats were $12 cheaper per unit. On 40,000+ seats, that adds up.

Is this still on schedule to be completed next spring? Anybody? Bueller?

We went with Allen screws. You know how difficult it can be. That constant battle between leverage and space. It’s exhausting.

I read this just hours after putting together a piece of Ikea furniture and literally laughed out loud, maybe as hard as I've ever laughed at anything on here. It's funny what's funny. Context and timing is everything.

Who ever Mr Allen was, and why he invented that darn wrench of his, I hope his coffin continues to be a hexagonal claustrophobic experience

Notice this Allen didn’t give us his last name. That wasn’t by accident.

Agreed but I bet it started with an L.

They're betting we need seated backrests because Gator fans will have nothing to jump up & stand for.

If "spring" is in 2033, then yes.

I wonder how much more the project will cost due to delays dragging it into the timeframe of supply chain interruptions. It has to have a severe impact.

This was originally a $55M job. It's now an $85M job. I don't think the increase was because they added a waterfall.

Supply chain issues will be the next publicly issued excuse for why this won’t be done until the 2030’s.

Yup. Foley’s the kind of guy who drives to the grocery store 15 miles out of the way to use a 50 cent coupon.

remember when we were telling the 2012 class that this was going to be done by 2015?

Get it the little Allen wrenches are L-shaped? What's wrong with you people?

Allen L_______ had the Last Laugh didn't he @rogdochar?

It is the z-bart undercoating that adds to the final costs.

How could anything go wrong with Dan the Builder in charge?
