Most northern latitude metal contractors were extremely challenged during the 2010-11 winter in getting their projects started. A great example of this is Pat Munger Construction, Inc. of Branford, CT, who had to dig out of more than normal snowfall to start a retrofit re-roofing project. The case in point is a project for Ocean Surveys, Inc. - a scientific data firm - located in Old Saybrook, CT. Roof Hugger, Inc. was called in to help create a retrofit sub-framing system that would eliminate the slope transition.

Bodies in Motion: The Animal Kingdom. That's the branding behind the design of the new Odyssey Elementary School in Farmington, UT.

The founding of the Opus One winery in California's Napa Valley in 1979 brought together two of the top names in winemaking, one from the Old World wine establishment in Europe and one from the New World winemaking industry in the United States. The design of the winery's new equipment shop reflects a balance too, where function on the one hand is countered by form on the other. Fortunately, the bifold and hydraulic doors specified for the state-of-the-art facility satisfied both desires. They were manufactured by Schweiss Doors of Hector, MN.
