And On, And On, And On

Today’s busyness has three foci, as has been usual in the last few days. Leveling off is still the task on the soccer field. This is contrary to what blogger thought would be the case. One lives; one learns.
Much speculation has gone on about the table-like structure in the corner of the theater site. Today unmasked its use (though not its name). The photo shows a third one being put in place just inside the rising theater wall, east side. So it is a platform from which the workmen can lay the concrete blocks. The wall is about six feet high closer to the building, so high that the platforms are now needed. Progress! A forklift is used to put the platforms in place as well as to deliver the skids of blocks to them. Earlier today a smaller forklift was used to draw the skids off the flat bed truck—draw them off, not lift them. Perhaps this machine has a different name?
Of course, a really big move today is the laying of more asphalt by the large green, well attended machine. A last step before this, however, is the testing of the compactness of the gravel by the engineer (pictured with the small red instrument). It is reassuring to see this kind of precaution many times in several areas of the project.
One picture above gives a glimpse of the new lot with a vehicle parked on it. By the end of the day, all the trailers are on this lot.
The firemen arrive to give their approval of students coming on to the property: all is safe from their perspective. Sighs of relief.
