Water turned off—hydrant connected to new pipe—water turned back on. Inside the building, people move about as if nothing is happening outside; of course, there are the puzzled looks out the windows. This is not to say that life in the interior is not affected by life on the exterior. Water is turned off, after all, inside the building. Also, there is the earnest desire for traffic/dust lights when one ventures out on foot across the parking lot.
The lime mixer near the kitchen dock is put into operation, and the mix poured into a rectangular wheeled bucket. This goes to the site down near the building where the new theater will connect: the men are building a wall with the concrete blocks right up against the foundation of the existing building. Meanwhile other workers are preparing for future pouring of concrete on the new entrance wall on the west side.
Dirt continues to relocate from the hill site to the soccer site, with some dirts just changing places as the right kind lands where it is needed. Dirt, it seems, employs a mysterious science. Life and work go on on this hot Friday.
Saturday comes and so do the workers on both the field/hill sites and the theater site. The latter work only half the day, proceeding with the task of readying trenches for the laying of concrete. In the photo, way on the left, you can see the opening in the gym wall for the new door that will open onto the entrance garden for the theater. The two existing gym doors will lead into the annex.
The hill, however is seeing some new action. Dirt from the huge pile up there is on the move to the soccer site and to the planned construction parking site nearer the theater site. An apron of gravel right off Hilton Dr. is being used as the base for the path up the hill to the pile of dirt. The gravel apparently allows for some leverage for the ascent by the huge trucks. Most things in this operation, including the operation itself, are huge.
