And now the moment you've all been waiting for! It may be one of my latest starts, but it's time to start building this year's ToO birthday present!

For an example of what these are like for those that haven't seen these before, here's last year's construction thread.

Without further adieu, I present...the foundation!

Stay tuned in a few days when I post an update.

I totally forgot about this.... A cake maybe?

EDIT: 170,000 in Finneman's (sp?)

And it is time for an update!

Whatever your guesses as to what it will be, they may have just been shattered.

What do you think it could be?

And time for another update.

We've got the walls all framed and are finishing framing the roof! It's obvious it's not a cake now (or so you think), so what do you think this building is for?

It looks great so far, Dan! I can't wait to see what it is. Wow, time really does fly. Nearly nine years. I can hardly believe it.

It is unbelievable that it is almost the ToO's birthday again! :mad: I'm looking forward to seeing what Dan's surprise is this year. :D It looks like maybe some kind of hotel or something like that? :-k

I was thinking it looked like a ski lodge. *not sure why* :anxious:

Looks good so far. \:D/

Heh, completely forgot about this. Always a fun thread.

And I predict that there will be a cake worked in there somewhere.

Construction is moving along very well!

Almost the entire building has been sheathed in plywood.

It's the brand new ToO conference centre, the place for all the visiting dignitaries (a.k.a. old folks) to stay while they visit to celebrate the anniversary! \:D/

I got the idea by combining my idea of a hotel with TKD's idea of a ski lodge. Brilliant, I know. ;)

You Canadians can teach us to ski, yes? Although, I'd feel bad for anyone trying to teach me. :(
