Fun History Relic Spotted Around Athens

,

Sandy Creek Nature Center Grain Bin

Did you know that Butler Manufacturing's first commercial ventures did not involve metal buildings? It all started with livestock water tanks and evolved from there to include buildings, grain bins and even airplanes briefly. This picture of an old Butler grain bin that was submitted to us is currently housed in the agricultural display at the Sandy Creek Education and Visitor Center  in Athens.

Woodville Fire Department Update

Shell Construction Completed

This month found us finishing the shell of the new fire house, thus competing our contract with the city. We look forward to seeing their project progress as they continue to build out the interior and develop the site on their own. It will be a much needed addition and upgrade for an all volunteer fire department that services a very large rural area and we have been very excited and grateful to play a small part in it.

Woodville Fire Department Update

Steel is going up, progress continues!

Our guys have been making good progress through the brisk and windy days. All the frames and structural members are in place and wall panels are starting to go on. We will be looking at a roof before long.

 

The department chose Shadowall panels, which allow for an additional 2" of insulation verses a standard ribbed wall panel and has the benefit of fewer exposed fasteners.

When completed the apparatus bay will consist of 3 drive through bays.
