At our annual Groundhog Day event, the staff started the day by getting breakfast at Moe Joe’s Breakfast Eatery in Meridian. After breakfast, we visited a few of our larger projects under construction. We first visited the University of Idaho Soil Research Center in Parma, Idaho, where we looked at the steel framing and the finished concrete slab mechanical well. We then visited Grace Assisted Living in Fruitland, Idaho, where we looked at the framing of the first of four wings of the building. To end out the day, we played a game at the new Top Golf facility in Meridian. Brandon Elizondo, our resident golfer, won the round with our Principal Dave Haugland at a close second. 

AHJ Goes Curling

At our annual Groundhog Day event, the staff was treated to a day away from computers, phones and brain-straining engineering work. Instead we started the day with a breakfast burrito and headed out to see how our details get implemented in the field and visiting a few of our larger projects under construction. Next we headed to Rule Steel for tours of their various design and fabrication shops. They provided lunch and a good discussion on ways to improve our interworking relationships. To end out the day we enrolled in curling lessons hosted by the Boise Curling Club. Our culminating competition resulted in Tiffany (office manager) taking home the “Queen of the Ice” title. We are all looking forward to curling again soon and next year’s Groundhog Day.
