summary: enjoying their time together, holding back their feelings gets too hard. rating: 18+ words: 2.5k characters: lewis hamilton x fem!reader a/n: this took longer than expected, just a lot going on irl. a little reminder this set just before the singapore gp where there’s the 3wk break. sorry for the long wait, don’t know if it was worth it but i hope you guys like it, let me know your thoughts! read the previous part here.

it was friday and another work from home day for you when lewis called you, smiling as you answered.

‘heey!’ you were glad he couldn’t see you smiling like an idiot, you hoped your enthusiasm to hear from him wasn’t so obvious.

‘hi, i’m not disturbing you am i?’

‘no i’m just on my lunch break at the moment, what’s up?’

‘well i was wondering are you busy tonight?’

‘nope’

‘great, i was wondering if you wanted to have dinner?’

‘oh…‘ you were caught off guard but before you could answer lewis spoke up again, maybe sensing your hesitation.

‘you know since that’s what you wanna tell the others is why we’re friends now, i figured I should actually take you out for an apology dinner and make lying a little easier’

‘okay, sure’

‘i’ll pick you up at 7:30pm? any preferences?’

‘7:30pm is good and nah, you can pick whatever considering you’re a vegan and if want to you can come over a little earlier for some dessert’ you bit on your lip hoping he understand the innuendo.

he chuckled. ‘dessert sounds great, see ya later’

you were almost glad this was the last weekend with lewis before he was back on the road for two months or longer - who knows what else he had planned after the season was over. you knew if this carried on any longer, you were gonna get hurt but as you ruminated over the phone call maybe that was too late and you were already in too deep…

soon enough your work day was over, you rummaged through your wardrobe piecing together an outfit when your doorbell rang.

‘hi, you’re early’ you opened the door slightly, smiling as you teased him when you said to come over for dessert you didn’t think he’d come over so early but you couldn’t help but enjoy the eagerness.

he rolled his eyes chuckling. ‘and i’m sure when i get my hands between your legs you’ll be very happy to see me’

you rolled your eyes knowing you had no quick remark, he was right you were already wet for him and when you let him in he was quick to pull off his jacket and shoes and lift you into his arms, you giggled it was all so sudden his lips on you as he carried you to the couch both quick to undress one another except you were in nothing but a baggy shirt and underwear, as soon as he pulled off your t-shirt he groaned at the sight of your breasts nipples hard taking them into his mouth.

‘wait…’ you quickly ran to your bedroom and pulled out a condom from your nightstand, running back in you held it up. ‘condom’

‘seriously?’ he raised an eyebrow considering the many times you hadn’t used one.

‘yes you’re a massive slut’ you chuckled teasing him,

‘and now you care?’

‘i know i should probably go get tested’

‘maybe i should too’ he said sarcastically.

‘you haven’t? with your whorish ways? very irresponsible’ you giggled at lewis’s continuous eye rolls.

‘oi!’

‘we can go together, a date?’ your giggles turned to laughter as lewis rolled his eyes, smiling at the way you laughed at your own jokes.

he rolled his eyes, poking at your sides playfully making you squirm in his lap. ‘you’re such a brat’

‘and you love it’ you giggled grabbing his hands and wrapping them around you. ‘now fuck me already’ he groaned pulling you in for a kiss, freeing his cock from the confines of his trousers you swiped the head of his leaking cock. you begrudgingly pulled away from his lips taking your thumb covered in his precum to your lips licking it off, he groaned at the sight at the way you looked at him and did it so casually.

he grabbed your face to pull you back in for a kiss. ‘wait’ your nose brushed against each others, you wanted to close the gap your body yearning for him. you looked down ripping open the condom you still had you unrolled it down lewis’s cock before sinking down onto him yourself, you sucked in a breath as he stretched you out.

you were too impatient to tease to make this last long, you circled your hips bounced on his cock lewis moaning against your skin as he pressed kisses all over. he let you control the pace for now, one hand playing with your breast and the other rubbing your clit.

you held onto lewis as you rode him, eyes squeezed shut lost in the way his hands and mouth explored your body desperate for your climax your pace quickened.

‘fuck! yes baby’ he let out an almost growl when you sped up, when you clenched around him his hand snaking around your neck and pulling you in for a sloppy kiss, your tongues fighting against each other.

‘lewis i—‘ you felt the coil within twisting, your body tensing, he didn’t need you to finish your sentence he knew you were close to the edge. lewis furiously rubbing your clit, encouraging you to let go trying to hold back his own climax but when you clenched around him it pushed him over the edge.

‘fuck baby!’ you bit back a smirk enjoying lewis coming undone the coil snapped you own climax hitting you. your body shaking you collapsed forward, lewis gripping your hips he held you down as your walls fluttered against his still hard cock whispering sweet nothings into your ears.

once you both caught your breath, you cleaned up and got redressed sitting back on lewis’s lap on the couch.

‘so what’s up with the condom? are you seeing other people?’ he asked hesitantly, he wasn’t sure if he really wanted the answer.

‘why? are you jealous?’ you were teasing but curious.

he rolled his eyes. ‘no, i’m just wondering’

‘i was protecting my couch, you know how gravity works right?’ he felt silly when it dawned on him what you meant, he knew he shouldn’t have cared but he couldn’t help it.

‘oh okay because i’m not sleeping with anyone else’ he held his breath, he shouldn’t be telling you this he thought. it would either be harmless or you’d freak out.

lewis’s confession took you by surprise, you had purposely not thought about him and other women. you guys were just friends with benefits, you had no expectations of exclusivity which you hated. ‘i’m not either’

he licked his lips trying hold back his smile, there’s a look for a moment…was he happy to hear that? it was probably because he’s possessive you said to yourself, you leaned in and kissed him trying to distract yourself.

‘you need to get changed’

‘why don’t we order takeout?’ you groaned pressing soft kisses along his neck.

he closed his eyes momentarily, enjoying the light brush of your lips. ‘y/n…’ you smirked lifting up from his lap, he groaned as you walked away. you quickly got ready keeping it cute and casual, leaving your place with lewis he took your hand in his like it was second nature - not letting go till he absolutely had too.

dinner was at a small quiet place, it was private and intimate. it was going surprisingly well you thought, you had been nervous earlier not sure what you’d talk about but the conversation flowed well. it was easy talking about everything and anything but the nerves were still there just for different reasons now, his fingers traced over your arm and up to the nape of your neck.

‘stop we’re like one of those annoying couples with the pda, people are trying to eat!’ he pulled you in for a kiss hearing the word ‘couple’ he kissed you deeper, it was like music to his ears.

you slapped his chest pulling away, he chuckled as he held your chin giving you one last peck. ‘okay let’s get out of here’

you rolled your eyes taking a sip of your drink. ‘i had fun tonight’

‘you sound surprised’

‘i am, i think this is the first time i’ve enjoyed your company with clothes on’ he shook his head playfully rolling his eyes.

you giggled kissing him softly except instead of kissing you back he pouted. ‘come on, i know you’re thinking the same thing!’ he chuckled knowing you were right, he kissed you back softly.

dinner over you made your way back to yours, it wasn’t discussed it was a given not that you were complaining in fact you liked how second nature it all was especially when getting ready for bed, reminding him of the spare toothbrush head he’d used before and the cleanser to wash his face as well as the rest of your skincare bits.

you were in bed, lewis in nothing but boxers and you in a little pj dress cuddling, both too tired for anything more. your mind started to wonder, you were gonna miss him would he miss you? before you could stop yourself the words left your mouth. ‘are you gonna miss me?’

‘it’s two months not two years’ it was clearly a joke you didn’t miss the lightness in his voice but it triggered something in you. you couldn’t help yourself but lash out, all these feelings bubbling to the surface that you’d been trying to ignore.

‘wow, you could’ve just lied and said yes but whatever, i know you’re just gonna forget about me anyways’ feeling hot and anxious you got out of bed grabbing your water trying to calm down.

‘i’m kidding! obviously, i’ll miss you’

‘oh please, you’re probably gonna be hooking up with someone new by next month. honestly, we should just end this whole friends with benefits thing after this weekend, it can’t go on forever’ he came to sit beside you trying to lock eyes with yours instead you shifted away feeling sick to your stomach.

‘what no! please look at me’

‘you know what let’s just forget i said anything this is so stupid, i’m going to watch some tv’ you got up trying to walk away, lewis grabbed your hand finally forcing you to look at him but you pulled your hand out of his grasp. the pained look that flashed across lewis’s face killed you, somehow you kept making it all worse and you wanted nothing more than to press rewind.

‘stop, can we just talk’ his voice was quiet and raspy like a lump stuck in his throat, he didn’t want to fight with you and he especially couldn’t stand the way you pulled away from him.

‘i’m not gonna fuck you tonight, so you can just leave’ it was like once you were on a roll you couldn’t stop yourself, just ruining everything, sabotaging any little bit of happiness you had was somehow easier than risking letting someone else hurt you except now was worse you weren’t just hurting yourself but hurting lewis. you were sure you were gonna throw up so you ran into your bathroom trying to calm down.

after a few minutes you walked out you half expected lewis to be gone but he wasn’t, he was pacing instead.

‘i’m sorry, i’ve just caused all this stupid drama for no reason. i don’t want you to leave but if you want to i get it.’

he sighed hesitantly reaching out his fingers brushing against yours, you took his hands in yours holding them tightly. ‘i don’t want to leave, i told you earlier i haven’t hooked up with anyone else since i’ve hooked up with you so why would that change now? and yeah the whole friends with benefits thing should end i hate it, i hated when i heard about the date because i want you, all of you not just sex but everything in between.’ he held his breath swallowing the lump stuck in his throat, not sure if he felt relieved he had this all off his chest now unable to read your face.

‘uh—‘ you were at a loss for words trying to process the millions of emotions you were feeling at that moment but one thing you couldn’t ignore was the relief you felt. ‘i feel the same way’ closing the gap between you he engulfed you, kissing you hard - it felt so different this time, your head spinning.

soon clothes were being pulled off back on the bed and lewis settled between your legs devouring your pussy. you gripped your headboard, back arched watching him eat you so hungrily it overwhelmed you with pleasure and want.

‘please i need you’ his tongue and fingers were not enough and you were too impatient. his fingers buried deep in you he kissed up your body, taking both your breasts into his mouth sucking and biting on your nipples ignoring your impatient whines if anything fuelling him.

making his way to your face he pulled his fingers out bringing them to your lips. ‘you see how good you taste, i could stay down there’

you smirked wrapping your arms around his neck kissing him hard, sliding into your aching hole he pulled you into his lap.

your legs wrapped around him as he held you in a tight embrace, both rocking against each other your bodies moving like one. your eyes locked onto each other foreheads pressed together nose brushing, exchanging the same breath, swallowing each other’s moans you felt like you were playing with fire.

yours nails digging into his back, you let him take control as he drove into you dancing on the edge now till he pushed you over with him, the waves crashing over you all you could was chant his name like a prayer. your body going limp you fell back as lewis let go, your eyes closed little tremors running through your body you didn’t pay much attention when lewis pulled out and watched as his seed spilled out till he pushed it back in, ran his fingers through your folds mixing your juices.

through heavy lids you looked up at him biting on your bottom lip. ‘lewis baby’ your soft pleas brought him back to reality smiling at the sight of you fucked out, half asleep and all his.

once you both came down from your highs lewis cleaned you and him up, your tiredness from before returning with a vengeance. lewis coming up behind you pulled you into his arm holding you tight as sleep took you. no more words needed tonight.

Lewis Hamilton after the 3-days of testing in Bahrain | 25.02.23 “It’s been an interesting few days. It’s never easy. There’s been a lot of discovery. I think the thing that I have been most impressed with is that it’s my 11th year with the team and everyone’s turned up with the same mentality, working hard. No one has been complacent. We realise that we have a mountain to climb and no one has fussed. Everyone has kept their heads down. Really proud of that, everyone in the garage, back here and at the factory will be going through all of this data and pushing on.” “Reliability has generally been good, obviously we had a stop yesterday but generally it’s been relatively good. At the end, it’s always nice when the track gets a bit cooler and you put on the softer tires, and see the steps between them all. We’re not quite where we want to be but it’s a good platform to start from.”

Porpoising? “It was last year and it is a little bit this year. Bouncing has gone. I mean sometimes it occurs a little bit but most of the time it’s not there. It’s just a much beautiful world to be in when it’s not bouncing so you can see the road ahead, better for the body. We do have some pace to pick up in a straight-line”

Vettel says F1 return could be 'appealing and interesting' as he reveals talks with Mercedes boss Wolff

Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel says he doesn't feel too old to compete in Formula 1 and would potentially be interested in a return to the sport if the package was right.

Vettel hung up his gloves and helmet at the end of the 2022 campaign, following two challenging seasons with Aston Martin, but with thirteen seats available on next year's grid and drivers like Fernando Alonso racing into their 40s, 36-year-old Vettel admitted to considering a return to the championship. "The better the car, the better the team, the more exciting it is in terms of having the prospect of being successful," said Vettel when speaking to Radio X in the UK. "I'm following the sport, I see what's going on. And it might be appealing and interesting, but it really depends on the full package because it is a big commitment, as well, with all the other stuff going on outside the driving activity. To seriously consider, it would very much depend on the package. From an age point of view, I feel bloody young with all the guys that are still hanging around and signing big contracts, being around for longer. It looks like I could have another ten years in the sport! So I'm definitely ahead of them, in terms of keeping fit." With Lewis Hamilton departing Mercedes for Ferrari next season, a seat at the Silver Arrows is among the most sought-after on the grid When asked by Sky Sports how he would feel about an offer to drive for Mercedes, Vettel responded: "I've had conversations with him [Mercedes boss Toto Wolff], not really about the seat. We did speak about the whole situation, in short, as well. But I did speak to others, as well, because I'm still keeping in touch every now and then. I have some projects and ideas together with F1. We'll see if they will turn out or not. So I am staying in touch. I don't know. It has to be a couple more phone calls and conversations, I guess, to really find out a little bit more. But for sure it is one of the best seats on the grid." One of the reasons for Vettel choosing to leave the sport was so that he could spend more time with his children. A racing return would pull him back on the road and away from his family for large chunks of the year, with the four-time champion admitting that that would be a factor to consider. "It is a decision that I take for myself, but I take for the family as well," added Vettel. "The kids have already said that they love it the way it is now. They wouldn't really support big-time to go back, but they said that without [me] asking, to be honest. Depending on the car, it will be something that we discuss together, obviously." Meanwhile, having tested a Porsche 963 hypercar at Motorland Aragón last week, there had been talk that a Le Mans outing this year with the German manufacturer might be on the cards for Vettel. But Vettel said he didn't think the prospect was "realistic," adding: "It was very exciting, very different to have a roof over your head, but yeah, it was it was a cool experience."

Earth - 2097

______________________________________________________________________

Everything happened so fast, one moment I was walking on the sidewalk to school until I ended up in a hospital bed fighting for my life, literally. I got here due to an incident that will forever change my life.

It started off when I was getting ready for school at 6 am. Yes, 6 am because I have three other siblings and two of them; my older brother and younger sister; love to take up to almost an eternity in the bathroom.

Having the strength I needed, I got up and made my bed, went to a show and other bathroom business, went back to my room and got dressed. My outfit for today was black leggings, white Airwalks with white low socks, a tight gray shirt, an oversized brown hoodie, my red glasses, the ring that had my name engraved in it, and finally, I did my hair into a ponytail.

I then went back to my room to grab my forest green backpack that has whatever I needed for school and other random stuff.

Walking into the kitchen, I ate some breakfast and went on my way after saying my ‘goodbyes’ and ‘I love you’s’ to my parents.

My siblings were still in bed due to the fact that I decided to walk to school instead of taking the usual bus that came to pick us up at around 7:25.

The walk to school is usually around 30 minutes. So, I pulled out my phone with an anime YMHA themed case and checked the time; 7:00.

“I should get there in about 30 minutes.” I noted myself as I went onto Spotify and played Hamilton's musical playlist, popping in my ear buds as I walked my way out of the neighborhood and began my trek towards school.

My parents think that having an All Might themed, and an Eraser head themed phone case was weird, and that I should’ve bought a book or something at Barnes and Nobles. But it’s whatever, I guess.

It’s not like I’m obsessed with that anime only though, I also like Demon slayer, Tokyo revengers, and Attack on titan. The fandoms are okay, except for Mha’s fandom. It makes me want to bleach out my eyes and pour holy water on them. Other than that, I actually like it.

At least I’m not like any other typical (your ethnicity) 15-year-old girl who likes to be out on the streets doing who knows what.

As I looked around, I noticed that I’m just under the bridge. Not even at the half point yet, and so to save some time later on I ran across the road after looking both ways to get to the other side and continue on my way.

“Why does the school system request we bring textbooks home?” I complained while walking.

I finally made it to the fairgrounds, and it was already 7:30.

“Shit I’m goanna be late!” I said as I sped past the fairgrounds and by the time, I finally made it to the crosswalk that separated me and the school it was already 7:50.

“Dammit, only 5 minutes before the first bell.” I thought as I waited for the cross guard to say I could cross.

“Can’t these cars go any faster?!” I say in my mind as I check the time; 7:55. I only have 5 minutes before I’m officially late for school. And I really don’t want my parents yelling at me for that.

As if a god heard my prayers, the cross guard let me cross the street.

I started speed-walking across the street until something decided to body slam me hard while taking all my breath away. And guess what, it was a Ram truck that rammed into me.

“Too much ram not enough dodge” I thought as my body flew across the street a couple of meters.

I finally landed with a thud and felt pain and only pain throughout my entire body. It feels like I’m there but I’m not there at the same time.

As I lay on the road like roadkill, I began to hear a lot of commotion at the same time. I hear what sounds like doors slamming, people shouting and a lot of gasps here and there.

Was this the way I was going to die? On the road? I mean, at least give me some time to make my will and shit.

I then felt myself being shaken by someone, telling me something inaudible.

What felt like forever to me but only 5 minutes to the people around me, blue and red flashes of light were seen and sirens were heard.

It all sounded very faint to my ears, but I could still hear it.

I felt myself being lifted up from the ground and onto something softer. That's when I noticed that it was a stretcher and that the ambulance had come. I felt being transported into an ambulance and as the doors closed shut, the paramedics/medics surrounded me and started doing something.

They started asking things or talking but it was hard to hear, and so I closed my eyes and lost consciousness.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I finally woke up.

Sitting up straight I look around to see the room dark. “So, it was night.” I thought to myself as I noticed some type of plastic bracelet on my ankle.

“So, I am in a hospital.” I say to myself. My body still hurts like hell though, and only now do I notice that I have an oxygen mask on.

I look down to my arms and see PICC lines intact and connected to a blood bag.

“So, I am dying…” I thought as I looked around once again. I find a balcony this time, and so I pull out the lines and take the mask off and head my way towards the balcony.

Opening the screen door and closing it behind me, I notice a rocking chair, making my way towards the chair and I finally sit down.

Looking up at the sky, I begin to just talk to the stars and the moon as if it were my family.

“I remember having a rocking chair at home, it was blue and white. Dad and I would always sit outside late at night like this. Enjoying our own company.”.

Silence, so I continue to talk more.

“Oi mom, do you remember that one time I burnt the beans? Huh, I always seemed to blame you for it…I’m sorry….”.

“Hey b/n, s/n, b/n. Sorry for being a prick to you guys. I really do love you guys…I’m just bad at showing it.”

Tears flowed down my face. I’m goanna miss them all. Mom, Dad...b/n, s/n, b/n...

I start to feel my eyes closing shut, and so with my last breath I say:

“.... I’ll be sure that I’ll say ‘hi’ to grandpa for you guys………”.

As I said those last words, my eyes finally closed shut from the world I used to live in, now falling into oblivion.

“I can finally rest properly now.”

I open my eyes.

Wait, didn't I just die? All I see is white. Just white.

Looking around in confusion I thought, “Is this really what happens after death?”. I don’t see anything but white, and it makes me sick.

I now look at myself, I’m still wearing the same clothing I died with. And I still have the things that I died with, which included my backpack, phone, and earbuds.

I finally look down to my hands, specifically my middle finger on my left hand. There layed a silver ring that has my name engraved in it. It was a gift from my dad. I ran my other fingers from my right hand along it and felt tears consuming up in my eyes, ready to go down like a raging river. I wipe the tears away before they could fall, no use in crying now.

Looking up, I let out a loud gasp as I saw a figure standing right in front of me. It was about average height, and it didn’t have any physical appearance other than the shape of a regular human.

“Are you Jasmin?” they asked. I was stunted, but nodded slightly as it then continued to speak.

“Do you wish for another chance?”.

“...What do you mean by another chance?" suspicion started to seep into my mind as I asked that question to them.

“Another chance at life, in another world.” they simply said as if it were so obvious.

I was bewildered, another life in another world. They seemed to sense my hesitation because they spoke again.

“I know it sounds too good to be true, but I offer this to those who didn’t get to live their life to the fullest. So, I’ll ask you again, Jasmin. Would you like another chance?”

Giving it some thought, it didn't seem like such a bad idea. Infact, I think this is the perfect chance at where I want to live again.

“Can I keep my memories and choose which world I want to live in, along with the timeline?” asking them while having an idea of what I want.

They seemed to think about it for a second and slightly nodded their head. And so that was the moment where I went full on anime mode on it.

“Alright. I would like to live in the MHA world and grow up during the time where all the characters like Midoriya and all the other characters are growing up. And that should be around the year ####. I’d also like to have a hero worthy quirk as well so that I can become a hero or something. I’d also want to be able to live in Japan, anywhere that works as long as I’m close to UA. And I’d like to keep my normal appearance but other than that, I’m done.”. I end that with a serious face while looking at them. They began to speak back to me in response, “I don’t think you know how this works-”, before they could even finish, I gave them a dead serious look.

“Man, I’m dead. At least let me live in a place where I choose.” I said as they finally gave in., they began to put their hands together and all sorts of colorful lights surrounded them. After a minute or two, they finally opened up their hands and revealed a black and yellow pill in their hands.

“Once you swallow this pill, you can’t go ba-” before they could even finish their sentence, I already snatched that pill and swallowed it whole. Nothing happened for a hot minute, but I started to feel off. My vision started to get blurry and black spots started to cloud my eyesight and soon enough I was in the void again.

______________________________________________________________________

As the effect took place, it finally began to fade away. I opened my eyes to be greeted by adults surrounding me. One of them was holding me up, a woman. And beside her was a man. I looked around at the other adults and realized they were doctors. So, I was in a hospital after all.

“I think we’ll call you, y/n. A beautiful name for a beautiful girl.” the woman said while the man smiled happily along with her. The doctors around us were congratulating as they got some paperwork out. At that moment I realized that one of the doctor's faces had not two, but three eyes. And that’s when I realized that I was where I wished to be.

In the Mha-world.

Why Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is the best music biopic film

So I watched it last night and I highly recommend it! But while watching the movie I kept thinking "This script is too good. Like this is too clever for it's own good." This thought couldn't escape me. I had to break down why this movie is, quite frankly, the perfect parody and love letter to the music biopic film. Quite possibly the best music biopic film.

In this essay, I will be using the songs that are explicitly referenced in Weird: The Al Yankovic Story as a way to showcase how they reflect or subvert the music biopic film tropes. How these songs are meant show the "real life backstory" of Weird Al Yankovic (and also, the universe this movie takes place in) is quite frankly buckwild. And we start at The Beginning and our first song.

My Bologna—The movie begins with the framing device—a voice over. Then, Weird Al is going to the hospital and being pronounced dead by Lin Manuel Miranda (the Hamilton writer/multi Grammy winner who was receiving the Hollywood Walk of Fame Star the same day as Weird Al and WHO JUST HAPPENED TO BE WITH WEIRD AL AT THE TIME OF THE ANNOUCEMENT OF THEIR WINS. ANYWAY WE WILL GET BACK TO THIS PLOT POINT LATER).

More voiceover. We see the hero's journey start by showing how Weird Al was a musically gifted child, but his family discouraged him. His Mom is the traditional 50's wife while Dad is a Overworked Blue Collar Man who works at factory (BUT THE ENTIRE MOVIE, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HE MAKES, SIMILAR TO HOW IN A BIOPIC MOVIE, THE "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME DAD" DAD HAS "A TOUGH JOB THAT PUT BREAD ON THE TABLE, BUT MY DAMN SON DOESN'T APPRECIATE IT" FACTORY JOB). It is here we also establish the future Mentor+Agent character, but I'm getting ahead of myself. After receiving "The One True Calling"—(ie, the traveling salesman with the accordion, others gaining the appreciation for his talent at a high school polka party, the reveal to the "You Don't Understand Me" Dad how his son played the accordion in secret (complete with doing so "in the closet" because "My mom supports my artistic achievements, but still has to be a good housewife and follow her husband's rules, but to hell with the rules" idea), only for the "You Don't Understand Me" Dad to crush his spirits (ie throw him out of the house for his talent and we get the important line of "I will become Perhaps Not Technically the Best at But Arguably the Most Famous Accordion Player")—does our hero start the journey. He has a couple of tough gigs/ getting rejected while he's away from home. The future band mates are the new friends he makes away from home (guys that, as the movie points out, have shown NO MUSICAL TALENT OR INTEREST EARLIER IN THE FILM UNTIL THE BIG "GETS DISCOVERED BY A MENTOR+AGENT" MOMENT. GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF). After encouraging our hero to keep going, the future bandmates find themselves at the BIG MOMENT. The moment when our hero is tested for first time with the 1st song. The one that all audiences will know. A softball in terms of the types of references yet to come. In this case, Weird Al gets the inspiration for My Bologna after making his future bandmates a boloney sandwich.

I Love Rocky Road—The "Gets Discovered By a Mentor+Agent" moment of the music biopic. So after the real life recording of My Bologna in the bathroom (with some "dramatic license"), our hero sends his song to Captain Buffoon, a radio DJ (great name btw). The song is played on the radio and to our hero, things are looking up for him! Wrong! The record execs with TERRIBLE WIGS™ aren't buying it! They don't understand how this will get them cash money.

(Sidebar: one of the record executives is Weird Al himself in a Terrible Wig ™. And the other executive (Will Forte) is just laying into our hero. Just laying it on with saying "You're so dumb! You'll never amount to anything. Your breath kinda sticks too!" kinda jokes. And The Real Weird Al is like "hey man, that seems a little harsh." But Will Forte keeps going, making the childish insults worse. And The Real Weird Al has to say "that's kinda harsh, you don't need to go into him like that" about Fictional Weird Al. Anyway, great sequence folks.)

But our hero is not discouraged. Cause his tape to Captain Buffoon did get him a gig at a TOUGH BIKER BAR™/the "Tough crowd to win over" moment (with one bar patron being Patton Oswald, who was originally Dr Demento in the Funny or Die sketch that kicked this whole idea off. The bar owner is Dot-Marie Jones, which made me personally happy). And so he goes up alone, starts singing. But it doesn't seem to be working! The bikers/crowd aren't buying it either! See, they know what it means to be real! But low! Our hero, being discouraged, suddenly shows that "he can do it guys"! Not only that, but his friends are joining him too! The band is forming! The crowd is loving it! What once was slurs and heckling being thrown at our hero is now rapturous applause! Our hero's trial is over. BUT, a dark entity was watching from the bar. In a funny looking getup in the shadows.

Another One Rides the Bus—The Dark Bargain begins. Our dark bargain mentor figure is Rainn Wilson, playing Dr Demento (there are 2. COUNT EM 2 JOKES ABOUT DEMENTORS IN THIS SCENE ALONE. WITH LONG PAUSES FOR AUDIENCES TO REALIZE HE REFERENCING HARRY POTTER WHILE HARRY POTTER (Daniel Radcliffe) IS ON SCREEN). The success of the song means our hero gets his first taste of FAME and HIS STAGE NAME. He goes to a party with the ultimate blunt rotation including:

• Devo

• Elton John

• PeeWee Herman

• Tiny Tim

• Elvira, Mistress of the Dark

• Alice Cooper with a fake snake

• The comedian Gallagher played by Paul F Tompkins

• Kate Pierson from the B-52s

• Grace Jones

• Divine

• Salvador Dali

• Frank Zappa

• Conan O'Brien as Andy Warhol

(Sidebar: There is also a man with a guitar talking to "Elton" and another shot of a man with white blonde hair and suit that I didn't recognize. If someone could help me identify who these are supposed to be, that would be great!)

And our hero gets tested again by Jack Black as Wolfman Jack and John Deacon (bass player of Queen, which is funny because MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT INFO, SO WE'RE MAKING JOKES ABOUT HOW RECOGNIZABLE SOMEONE IS. THE IDEA COMES UP AGAIN LATER IN THE MOVIE). This group of people are like the bikers—they need to see if he's the Real Thing AGAIN. Which gives us another "in universe" biopic song. And the guests are impressed! And soon, our boy is getting interviewed by Oprah (with Quinta Brunson as Oprah, which is incredible). The interview starts showing that he is getting money, the house he always wanted, The Dream ™. He even shows his chain of platinum records that he wears at all times (IT SAVES HIM LATER, TRUST ME). All he needs now is THE GIRL. Enter Evan Rachel Wood as Madonna. She sees the interview with Oprah and "Sees What She Likes

(Sidebar: in the Oprah broadcast we find out Pablo Escobar—yes, the international drug cartel leader—is one of the biggest Weird Al fans. THIS WILL BE IMPORTANT LATER).

Cut to a hotel room. Our hero makes THE PHONE CALL BACK HOME™ to check in with the family. His mom picks up (IT'S ALWAYS THE MOM IN MOVIES. ALWAYS), and she says that she misses her little boy and Dad isn't home cause he's working the factory. The trope gets subverted because she says how disappointed she is with our hero, instead of the typical "Moms always support their kids and their kids' dreams" in most movies. This brings the hero DOWN. He finds his mentor (for some reason being in a bathtub connected to the bedroom where the The Phone Call From Home™ happens). And he gets drugged on LSD! So now we have a Dream Sequence. Which is amazing! At the end, he emerges Reborn! He has also created THE GREATEST THING EVER. His "Sgt. Pepper's" (including DRUG INFLUENCE ™) if you will.

Eat It—This time, "The record executives can do nothing but be in awe of the genius they just listened to". But our hero is tired of being a ONE TRICK PONY. He wants to make his own music. This song isn't a parody. And in the universe of the movie, Michael Jackson is the greatest Parody writer of all time. Because "Beat It" in this universe is a cover song (maybe so are all popular songs ever—hard to say). Now the little man and his accordion are the ones who dominate the charts. They shape music history forever. Not everyone he actually covers in real life.

(Sidebar: This is the most batshit thought I had while watching this movie. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE.)

This song is The Biggest Song in the World. And our hero is getting even more FAME. But with that comes Another Dark Bargain. At this point in a music biopic, our hero will have/or has encountered his supposed downfall. In music biopics, it's usually the mentor+agent, corrupted by money/fame. Sometimes it's the girlfriend who's a HUGE SLUT/does a lot of drugs/encourages the use of drugs/just being a BAD INFLUENCE. In this case, the girlfriend is Madonna (someone that Conservatives think is all the things depicted in the movie already. Yes, probably even being the queen of a drug cartel after killing Pablo Escobar and then takes out Weird Al via assassination at the Not Grammy Grammys BUT I AM JUMPING AHEAD OF MYSELF IN THIS STORY). So she stops on by The Mansion™ and she and Weird Al are Opposites Attract ™. They start making out (but can't show sex scenes in a PG-13 film). And the making out is so fucking funny. But now, "The Girl is in his life, and he's starting to get distracted from his job!" plot line has entered the chat. And Dr Demento is not having it. Instead of focusing on some exciting opportunities (including playing for Pablo "Previously Stated as One of Weird Al's Biggest Fans" Escobar for his 40th birthday party. Also there's a joke about Led Zeppelin versus Howie Mandel and having Weird Al replace Roger Moore as James Bond. And he throws a fit about only doing original work. Which is hilarious since we live in a "Who's the next James Bond after Daniel Craig" era), our hero just wants to be with his BAD INFLUENCE.

While at dinner with Madonna, there is a phone call.

(Sidebar: Weird Al states "This has been the happiest six hours of my life". How I'm choosing to believe that from the time Madonna and Weird Al made out, do the Next Morning Scene™ to the time of this dinner—including the previously established "Getting Distracted" scene—all took place in six hours. Insane.)

It's from one of the record executives (played by The Real Weird Al). It's about Michael Jackson "parodying" Eat It. And our hero IS NOT HAVING IT ™. The first blow that will lead to DOWNFALL. The Phone is getting smashed. Our hero will now be linked to Michael Jackson forever because of this parody! He returns to the table and cannot eat (it. GET IT? Also the waiter is Josh Groban). Now Madonna is giving him alcohol. The Slow Decent to the Bottom has begun! Meanwhile, the band is pissed! We haven't seen them in several minutes, but the BAND IS FIGHTING is about to commence. They say Weird Al has lost touch. He threats to replace everyone with machines (even the GUY WE DON'T REMEMBER IS IN THE BAND, LIKE JASON DEACON, BASS PLAYER FOR QUEEN. See, it all comes back around). "You've changed man," is said. Dr Demento arrives to try and SALVAGE THE SITUATION ™. But "Anything you want to say, you can say in front of my BAD INFLUENCE." And the mentor figure thinks The Girl=Bad Influence. "She's only using you for her own gains" line is used. But our hero is blinded by the love/BAD INFLUENCE to see the truth. This is also where the hinting mention of Like a Surgeon happens (BUT WE'RE NOT THERE YET. THE PAYOFF HASN'T HAPPENED YET). "You're not my real dad!" (even though this entire time, Weird Al wasn't looking for a Father Figure™). The mentor+agent figure is now dismissed. Madonna runs after him, telling him not to Drive While Drunk. But hands over the car keys away cause she a BAD INFLUENCE. While Driving To Clear His Head ™, our hero flips through the radio. It's playing the top radio hits (HIS SONGS) and he turns off the radio is disgust. Suddenly we have a car crash.

Like a Surgeon—We are now back in the hospital. All of the previously stated information is the first HOUR AND FOUR MINUTES OF THIS MOVIE. TO SET UP THE REASON LIKE A SURGEON EXISTS AS A SONG. THIS IS THE GIVEN BACKSTORY FOR THIS SONG.

But now, it's The Second Biggest Thing of All Time. And we get choreography that's the Vogue choreography. And Madonna is doing it backstage. So she's inspired by Weird Al, not ballroom dance culture, to dance like that in Vogue. Fucking wild. Also the backup dancers are wearing cone bras (a thing Madonna made famous with Like a Virgin). We now get The Doors movie parody with the ROCK BOTTOM MOMENT. Which includes flashing the accordion to the audience (instead of a dick). And now, our boy is CANCELLED and has to LAY LOW, which mean going to a diner with his very famous girlfriend. Madonna says what their Hollywood couple/ship name should be. But they couldn't lay low, because Madonna got kidnaped by Pablo Escobar. That's right, you forgot about Pablo Escobar, didn't you? But I mentioned him previously. And now, he's now the main plotline. All for Weird Al not noticing him senpai.

And now our movie turns into an action movie. With an amazing diner fight+punchline at the end of the scene. Also a "Predator style jungle knockout to sneak onto the enemy's basecamp" scene. And Madonna is being held hostage during Pablo's 40th birthday party, including a mariachi band playing. But Weird Al shows up and a firefight ensues. He gains the upper hand (cause everyone is a terrible shot+Tarantino style blood squibs go off. It's awesome).

THEN PABLO ESCOBAR SHOOTS WEIRD AL DEAD.

BUT PSYCH! CAUSE CHAIN OF PLATINUM RECORDS SAVED HIS ASS. AN HOUR AND SEVENTEEN MINUTES INTO THE MOVIE WE BRING THE CHECKHOV'S RECORD BACK. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

And Weird Al kills Pablo Escobar by throwing a record into his head. And Madonna, being the #girlboss that she is, decides she wants to becoming the head of an international drug cartel, and wants Weird Al to help her. But he decides to go against her. Her BAD INFLUENCE no longer has a hold on his life. AND THE VOICE OVER RETURNS. Cause now "the hero has to return home before his big comeback after the Fall from Grace" needs to happen, because of course that's what you do in a music biopic. So he returns home and starts working at the factory pushing levers and buttons that we, the audience and he, Weird Al, doesn't have a clue what they do (other than maim fellow factory workers, BUT WHATEVER). The "You Don't Understand Me" Dad finds him in the Depths Of Despair. And our hero has his emotional outburst. But our Dad has turned a new leaf. In fact, he like parody songs! He even sings the oldest one we know ("Jingle Bells, Batman Smells"). Also the mom is wearing the EAT IT fat suit.

(Sidebar: I feel mixed on this fat suit, but I won't get into it right now.)

And with this shared parody ancestry, the Dad thinks it's finally time to tell Weird Al why he was against him playing the accordion in the first place.

Amish Paradise—Dad's Tragic Backstory/Footloose Reason Why Society Doesn't Allow Their Kids to Do INSERT BLANK ACTIVITY HERE. Everything that you have read up until this point, an HOUR AND TWENTY FIVE MINUTES OF THE MOVIE, has been leading to this backstory for this song's inclusion in the movie. You're welcome. This Tragic Backstory is also animated, so thanks! Also because this is a rap/motivationally sounding song (I guess???), we see that our hero has Returned to Fight Another Day! This time with a new sound!

(Sidebar: does anyone else wonder if Coolio knew about this cameo before he died? Just asking cause Madonna apparently wasn't consulted about the role Evan Rachel Wood plays in this film according to interviews I watched after the fact).

This song is at the Not Grammy Grammys (he gets the "Perhaps Not Technically the Best at But Arguably the Most Famous Accordion Player" award over Prince. We'll need to move on from there). After being present the award by Diana Ross and Hulk Hogan, our guy wins and goes onstage to accept. Meanwhile, an assassin is seating in the front row. But wait, I thought Pablo Escobar is dead? Who is in charge of this assassin? Why, it's our girl Madonna. BUT I'M GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF.

The acceptance speech become a "Suck It Losers!" kinda speech. And here is where the A Star is Born reference with Weird Al pissing himself onstage happens. And Weird Al is assassinated. By a Madonna who is no longer in the audience, dressed in what I think is her American Life outfit.

(Sidebar: IS CYNDI LAUPUR NEXT TO DR DEMENTO IN THE AUDIENCE? CAUSE THAT'S NOT EVAN RACHEL WOOD AND WE NEEDED A FAKEOUT OF MADONNA SUPPOSEDLY SITTING IN THE AUDIENCE IN ORDER FOR HER DO THE ASSASSINATION. ANYWAY!)

And we get "What happened after the artist died/peaked" before credits rolls. Then credits with fake photos are mixed with real photos from childhood (I think those are real. If not, great touch). AND WE GET A MID CREDITS SCENE. Madonna brings flowers to Weird Al's grave (that says ATE IT 1985), but as she's leaving a zombie hand of Weird Al grabs her to drag her to hell like the end of Carrie/other horror movies. So Weird Al has been dead this entire time, and we have only been listening to a Zombie Weird Al since 1985!

Now You Know—the "Yep, this 100% happened guys. Totally!" song. Also has some great mentions about how long/repetitive the song is, who worked on the film, explicitly showing the parody songs instead of the originals used in the end credits, mentioning the "studio musician backing vocals" (who sound amazing by the way), and how the song can technically be nominated for an Oscar.

And this is why this movie is the great parody of all time.

With Katherine Legge & AJ Allmendinger Katherine Legge enters the field for the Indy 500 Katherine Legge Is A British auto racing driver | Pitstop | Episode 68 Katherine Legge and her Ice IndyCar Talking to Katherine Legge

Katherine Legge’s motorsports resume includes experience in Formula 3, Formula Renault, a Formula One test, Champ Car, INDYCAR, A1GP, DTM, Formula E and sports car racing. Legge was the first woman to win pole in a Zetec race in 2000. One year later she won BRDC’s “Rising Star” award.

In November 2005 she became the first woman to test a Formula One car since Sarah Fisher in 2002. Legge competed in the Toyota Atlantic Championship in 2005, winning the series opener in Long Beach in her first career start to become the first woman to win a developmental open wheel race in North America. She finished the 2005 Atlantic season third in the championship with three wins and five podiums. She moved up to PKV Racing in Champ Car in 2006 and became the first woman to lead a lap in that series when she led Lap 12 at Milwaukee and went on to earn an Indy car career best finish there of sixth. She later had a massive crash at Road America but was largely uninjured and able to compete in the final two races of the season. She competed for Dale Coyne Racing in 2007 and matched her best series finish of sixth at Long Beach and earned her best Indy car start of eighth, twice, before returning to Europe to compete in the DTM touring car series from 2008-2010 where she was an Audi factory driver. After a one-year hiatus from racing, she joined Dragon Racing’s INDYCAR SERIES team in 2012 but a short-lived Lotus program led to the team only being able to secure one Chevrolet engine for two drivers and Legge only competed on oval tracks.

She moved to the Delta Wing sports car program from 2013-2015 and also competed in two Formula E races with Amlin Aguri in the 2014/2015 season. She spent three seasons with Meyer Shank Racing from 2017-2019 in a factory-backed Acura GTD program and earned four wins and 11 podium finishes – including the first win worldwide for NSX in Detroit in 2017. In 2020, she competed in the Rolex 24 at Daytona in a Lamborghini in the GTD class before switching her focus to a European-based racing program. She signed with Richard Mille Racing to take part in the 2020 European Le Mans Series and 24 Hours of Le Mans in the LMP2 prototype category but was injured in a pre-season testing crash after a tire failure at the Paul Ricard circuit and missed the remainder of the season while recovering from her injuries. In 2021-2022, she returned to IMSA as lead driver for Team Hardpoint, driving a Porsche 911 in the GTD class and currently competes in an Acura NSX in the GTD class for Gradient Racing in 2023. She and her co-drivers recently finished fourth in class at the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

In her free time, Katherine is a Girl Scouts STEM Ambassador and enjoys skiing, cycling, training and competing in triathlons, yoga and is a vegan athlete. Legge is the second female race car driver to compete for RLL. Danica Patrick competed in the Atlantic Series with the team from 2003-2004 and in the IndyCar Series from 2005-2006.

Translation of Clyde Barrow's four page letter written to Ex-Barrow gang member, Ray Hamilton. This letter was most likely written by Bonnie who had the neater handwriting. Clyde also wasn't very literate and misspelled a lot in his own hand-written letters.

"Raymond, I’m very sorry to hear of your getting captured, but due to the fact that you offered no resistance, sympathy is lacking. The most I can do is hope you miss the chair. The purpose of this letter is to remind you of all the dirty deals you have pulled. When I came to the farm after you I thought maybe the joint had changed you from a boastful punk. However I learned too soon the mistake I had made. The first thing that aroused my suspicion was your suggestion of shooting Joe Palmer in the back while he was asleep. You soon learned how I felt about such cat ideas. Since then I’ve found your reasons for wanting to do this was because Joe was on the farm with you and knew what kind of a guy you were. The next impression was when we got the road blocked on us in the Ozarks and you were too yellow to fight. You cowered in the floorboard, afraid of being shot.

Now that you’re in the Dallas jail you have a tested pal, W.D. Jones, you might get a few pointers from him on how to impress the people you were an innocent, or possibly forced companion of the ruthless Barrow gang. You might be as lucky as he was in making them believe I kept you handcuffed or tied. When you wanted to get your Prostitute Sweetheart I thought it OK. But when you were so persistent about her going to town alone. That idea wasn’t so hot. I thought then and truthfully believe now that should she have gotten off without Bonnie she would have spotted us all. She hails from a rat family and you couldn’t expect better from her. You exposed your hole card when you stole the money from us on the Lancaster job. That’s what I have my rear vision mirror for to watch suspicious people. When I demanded a shake down you offered such strange excuses for having the money on you. I should have killed you then. I would have saved myself much bother and money looking for you. Far after you writing that letter saying you didn’t stoop so low as to rob filling stations I have done nothing but look for you. Should I have found you, you wouldn’t have had a chance to give up. You couldn’t stand the rift of the outlaw life. For one reason you were too yellow and knew you could never surrender with me and another reason you wanted to play ‘Big Shot,' sleep in hotels and ride passenger trains. You weren’t intelligent enough to know that you couldn’t live like a king and stay out. I don’t claim to be too smart. I know that some day they will get me but it won’t be without resistance. You only carried your guns around to show off or else kidnap women and children. I guess you find where your boastful long tongue has gotten you. Maybe you can talk yourself out of the chair. Or maybe you can write a few more letters (try one to the governor) at least it will gain you some publicity. When you started the rumor about Bonnie wanting a cut of the loot you sure messed yourself up. I have always taken care of Bonnie and never asked any thief to help me. I hope this will serve the purpose of letting you know that you can never expect the least of sympathy or assistance from me. So long.”

— Clyde Barrow

Hamilton confident Domenicali wont get rid of classic Formula 1 venues | RaceFans Round-up

In the round-up: Lewis Hamilton is confident Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali won’t cut classic venues from the schedule to make way for more new races. In brief ‘I’ll always prefer old tracks’ – Hamilton The addition of new races such as the Miami Grand Prix last year and forthcoming Las Vegas Grand Prix has put some long-established events under pressure. However Hamilton believes F1 is largely getting the balance right between old venues and new ones. “I like the direction, personally, that it’s going,” he told media including RaceFans. “I like the change that we’re seeing. It’s exciting coming to different parts of the world and different circuits. “We’ve been on all the other continents, I’m hoping we get to go to Africa soon and that will be an amazing experience for the whole circus to experience the culture there. It’s a challenge from an engineer and a driver’s perspective, go to these new places.” Spa doesn’t have an F1 deal for 2024 yet The seven-times world champion says he still has a soft spot for older tracks and expects those in charge will keep them on the schedule. “Of course I love all the older circuits and I will always prefer the older circuits. Maybe in 20 years, 30 years’ time, some kid will see [Miami] as a historic circuit but this is new for us. But all the old classics like Hungary and Silverstone and the Zandvoort circuit and Monza, they will always be special. “I think it’s important that we continue to have those in the DNA of Formula 1. And as far as I’m aware, Stefano is not planning to get rid of ones like that. It’s good to have a balance of the two.” Pourchaire ends F2 test on top Formula 2 championship leader Theo Pourchaire headed the last of three days of testing at the Circuit de Catalunya. The Sauber junior driver headed the times with a lap of 1’23.943, which put him six-tenths of a second of ART team mate Victor Martins. Pourchaire caused the first of three red flags with a spin earlier in the day. Ralph Boschung and Ayumu Iwasa caused the other two, while rain prevented drivers from improving their times in the afternoon. USF2000 trio escape injury as car is launched Three USF2000 drivers had a lucky escapes in yesterday’s opening race on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. Max Garcia was launched over the rear of Max Taylor’s car approaching turn seven and landed on Elliot Cox. Garcia then made heavy contact with the barrier. He emerged from his car unhurt, while Taylor and Cox drove back to the pits. Verstappen tackles virtual Nordschleife Max Verstappen will be part of Team Redline’s effort in the iRacing Nürburgring 24 Hours today, alongside Diogo Pinto and Ole Steinbraten.

Land Preparation in Hamilton and Guelph

Understanding the importance of land preparation in Guelph

The proper site preparation stage needs to be finished before any further construction-related activities can start. The success of the construction project hinges on the quality of this step, hence a contractor and land preparation in Hamilton experts who specializes in site preparation should be involved in this activity.

Determining if the chosen land is appropriate for the planned purpose is a crucial part of site preparation.

Are there adequate setbacks and enough space on the property for the construction you have in mind?

Will there be any impact on the current utility lines?

Will the planned site have an impact on the needs for property traffic now?

Is it possible to develop and build access roads on this land?

Is there a chance that the newly constructed structure may interfere with any existing easements?

An overview of the steps needed to prepare a building site for a project is shown below.

Step 1 – Surveying the Site

The main duties of Steel bird construction surveyors in the course of their work are site surveys and precise mapping of the area to be created. As most towns desire this information, the site survey should include the precise location of the new project, its proximity to any existing buildings, and the property lines.

Step 2 - Soil Testing and Examination

Soil testing and evaluation should be done prior to completing the purchase of newly acquired land. It is still required to test the soil even if you are the property's existing owner. The primary objectives of the test are to determine the ground's capability to absorb water and its ability to support the proposed project.

Step 3 - Clearing the Site and Probable Destruction

Currently, the place is being thoroughly cleaned. A preliminary grade will be constructed throughout the site by Steel bird construction contractor in charge of site preparation. This includes tearing down old structures, uprooting trees and their roots, and excavating any subsurface construction elements.

Step 4- Site Plan Designing

A site plan, also known as a plot plan, is a two-dimensional map that shows the intended constructions on a piece of land. Designing the blueprint is the responsibility of a Steel bird construction licensed surveyor. The design will encompass every road, walkway, landscape element, water supply line connected to your building, as well as its exact location and orientation on the ground.

When looking at a plan design of the construction site provided by land preparation in Guelph professionals, the first thing that one observes are the wellmarked property lines. Determining the precise separations between landmarks and landscape elements is the next step. Anything encompassed inside the boundaries of the property is taken into account.

Step 5 - Classifying and Soil Preparation

After the engineering design and site plan have been approved and all necessary permits have been obtained, digging can begin. The engineering plan will be provided by your land preparation in Guelph experts from Steel bird construction. It is generally against the law to begin clearing land for a new construction project before obtaining a building permit. Grading involves a lot more than just leveling the land; it also involves starting the foundation excavation process. The land is frequently cleaned during the site clearance stage, but it is not brought to the final grade. This may have been completed during the site clearance phase.

Steel bird construction makes it easier to locate reputable manufacturers of prefabricated metal buildings by allowing you to select the supplier that best suits your requirements and price range.
