Bod Pod Interior Build-Out

This is a picture of a "Bod-Pod." This machine is a new technology that tests body fat in a more efficient way than the conventional "wet test" done submerged in a whirlpool. Hardline helped the owners of this new business build-out the interior of their space. Hardline started this job 2 weeks ago and we are finishing touch up paint today. This was a fairly small job with no major structural work, but we were glad to help with the construction. This new technology debuted at the NFL combine to test the athletes body fat and lean muscle mass prior to the big Draft Day last week. If anybody reading this is interested in having their body fat tested, feel free to contact J.D. Wright at 678-595-8046. The business is located on Howell Mill Road behind the Chick-fil-A near the intersection of Howell Mill & Collier Road.

Sandy Springs Pool House Finished

The pool house is 100% complete. Columns trimmed out and painted, furniture moved in! This project took 9 weeks from construction start to completion.

Another Completed Deck in Midtown

Here is another deck Hardline just completed in Midtown. We used metal ballusters on this deck instead of wood. This balluster look is a nice alternative to wood for a fairly small upgrade price.

Completed Deck in Roswell, GA

Here is a picture of a completed deck located in Roswell. Hardline demolished an existing deck and re-built this new larger one with a roof.

Melante Drive Tree Posting

We finally received the infamous "Yellow" sign posting for the Melante Drive Master Bedroom & Bath addition. Whenever you impact a specimen tree, you have to endure a rigorous permitting process with the City of Atlanta Arborist Division. First, you have to submit your protection plan: Second, you receive preliminary approval from the City: Third, City posts an "Orange" sign on the property for 10 business days: Finally, City posts the "Yellow" sign notifying the public of preliminary approval. The major 'schedule' snag in the system is that the City has 5 business days to post the Orange sign, and then another 5 business days to post the Yellow sign. At then end of the 5 day Yellow sign posting, Hardline brings the sign back into the City for final approval. Unfortunately on this job, the City took 3 business days to post the Orange sign and 5 business days to post the Yellow one. In summary, the Arborist approval will take 23 business days from submittal to approval. This does not help us meet our Finish Date requested by the homeowner, but unfortunately out of Hardline's control.

North Avenue Pool Almost Ready to Start

Here is an updated picture of the pool Hardline will build for the North Avenue Apartments in Midtown. As you can see from previous pictures, the framing is going fast. We anticipate receipt of permit from the Fulton County Health Department by the beginning of May and starting construction shortly after.

Wind Damage at Melante Drive

Hardline is about to start a new Master Bedroom addition in Midtown, and the owner called Saturday about a Pine tree that fell on the corner of his tool shed in the backyard. While I was on the way to look at the damage this morning, a second Pine tree fell right through the middle of the tool shed completely crushing it. Two down trees in three days, i believe that is enough firewood for the immediate future. Nobody was injured.

New Construction in Grant Park

This is the proposed front elevation of a new home Hardline will be building in Grant Park. If you have been following this website, you have already seen pictures of the damage to the existing house where a large oak tree fell through the front of the home. This is the new front elevation that will be submitted to the City of Atlanta for Building permit. Hardline hopes to receive final approval at the next Urban Design Commission (UDC) meeting April 8, 2009. The UDC must independently approve all architectural plans prior to Building Permit submittal. Once this final approval is obtained, Hardline will be able to start the Building permit process with the City of Atlanta Bureau of Buildings. These architectural plans were done by Homes of Atlanta, Inc. and intended to mimic the look of the existing structure prior to the tree damage. Any time you attempt to permit a structure in a Historic District, expect very tight architectural control from the governing commission.

Only Trim Remains to Complete Pool House

Here is an updated picture of the Pool House near completion. All we have left to construct are the 6 columns and paint. Once we finish the columns the structure will look less like a sitck figure and more like the finished product that was designed.

Master Bedroom & Bath Addition

The picture to the left is the architectural plan for a Master Bedroom / Bath / Closet / Laundry Room addition for a house in Midtown Atlanta on Melante Drive. The addition is 570 square feet, and was designed by Homes of Atlanta Architects. Hardline anticipates Permit receipt from the City of Atlanta by April 15. This project will sit on a new slab and take approximately 8 weeks to complete.
