We didn't get to set up the group shot on top of the VolTron like we wanted due to time constraints but here is crew that brought you your new video board. Sky Monkeys in the center, the crane operator and oiler on the right and the electrician on the left. Best of luck this season, GO VOLS

When the advertisers change we change the photos. The Eric Berry one will probably change next year since he might opt out and go to the draft. It won't happen more than once a season. UT purchased a swing stage so that we can connect it to those I-beams you see on the back and go up and change...

It's DONE. It has really been a pleasure working for this football program and VolNation has been great to us. Thanks for all your support. Here are some completion photos for you.

Hell yeah. It'll be finished this weekend with a week to spare. I have to purchase a camera to post some pics. In my rush to get back to Knoxville I left mine in Oregon.

Skymonkeys are back on the scene to do a little punchlist work and finish the orange neon accents. I missed Knoxville while I was gone!

Well we got it almost done. Sorry you guys don't like the ads but how could you. I agree they look tacky especially the color over black and white but as it has been said they are a necessary evil. I have made it back to Oregon for a little R&R with my family and then we'll hit it hard again...

4 skymonkeys, 2 electricians, 1 crane operator, 1 crane oiler/rigger. There have been a few days we have a couple HVAC guys and there is always a project manager from the company that supplies the video modules to deal with the politics. I hire a couple day laborers occasionally to clean up the...

I stand corrected, the tuition department wants everyone to start school and would like my jobsite as a parking lot again. It'll take 2 days to break the crane down and clear the lot plus I fly away on Monday afternoon. At least I got see all the honeys arrive :thumbsup:

Yeah, that was me. It's a little sketchy up there with very few points to tie off to so "like a boss" I gotta do it myself. Never ask your men to do something you cannot or are unwilling to do yourself. Plus the view is incredible.

Here are some pics from today's progress. Finally the end is in sight. End of tomorrow will be looking sweet.

Hate to tell ya how it is but without the advertising this entire project would not have happened. It's a u scratch my back and I'll buy you a giant new video board kind of business ;-) Junglebeaver REALLY likes his sleep

Got the final cabinet up on the back today and the first picture, the one of Eric Berry, up and the final two will go up tomorrow. I'm waking junglebeaver up right now to get the picture of Eric Berry illuminated at night photo.

Got 2 of the picture cabinets up, third today, we'll have pictures going in them today and tomorrow. It's crunch time for us. Got to wrap it up by Monday, I hear a couple people would like to start school and we need to get out of their parking lot ;-)

I've been trying to get the pictures up all week but apparently I'm the red-headed step child of Mother Nature and Father Time. I got some screwed up steel from the shop and it didn't fit yesterday which is why we brought it back down then today when we lifted it the wind picked up and damn near...

Well, all good things must come to an end. I'll try to get some pics of each cabinet with the backlit photos in them as they go up. The storms put us back, we can't weld in the rain and can't fly in the lightning. The first one should be up tomorrow, Wed.
