The last two days have seen a veritable storm of activity. Determination to finish the tennis court site has paid off as the plateau the excavator has been sitting on has continued to get smaller and smaller with each bite of the bucket into the sides. In the final phase of this operation, the excavator must finish from a lower level and so is able to descend for the first time in weeks. The driver has to heave a sigh of satisfaction: the courts are now in their completed first stage.
In the back of the building, the old electrical pit (name?) is exposed--readers may remember it as being covered by metal, alongside the back drive . Past it now is another trench coming from the building and going to the new concrete lined electrical pit some distance away. Another trench is going to the same pit from the theater site, seen in a photo a few blogs back. Lots of electricity needed in this whole area since the gym is here also.
Surely a sign of progress is the removal of some of the large pieces of equipment that the reader sees on the flatbed trucks in the photo. The task here is to clear as much away as possible for next week’s big endeavor, the replacement of the parking area, the driveway, and the sidewalk that have been obliterated in the trenching, bull dozing, trucking, etc. that have been pounding them in the last four and a half months. Once all the machines, or most of them, are out of the way, having been removed or simply moved, the water truck is able to do its thing in spraying down the mud and dust. Periodically the driver gets out and uses the hose on the back to do an impressive job with water power.
The soccer field? It too sports a cleaner but textured appearance, getting closer and closer to being really flat and ready for turfing, still some months away.
