I was pleased to see the basement cleaned out today. I think that indicates the next stage is imminent. |
I noticed some framing on the south side. It looks too high for a new slab. |
Maybe the wild ladders are going to be fenced. |
I was beside myself with glee to see the crane in motion! |
I watched the work in the north lot for quite awhile. It's now covered with a neat and tidy bed of gravel. |
In the back corner I saw these two men stuffing wood into a box, and then I realized the box was connected to the crane. |
Always working in stealth mode, the crane lifted the box up and away! |
I captured this picture from the construction cam so you could see how nice the north lot looks. But notice that it is being framed, too. |
These are the steps they took before pouring the slab in the basement -- pipes, gravel and then frames. Maybe it's time for a slab here, too. |
This view from the south shows that the slab won't be a rectangle. I watched Baby Front End Loader run up and down the west hill as he raced between the south and north sides of the tabernacle. |
Since he didn't have a dinner plate under which to hide the dirt, Baby ran it down the hill to the south side and had the men spread it around. Back and forth he went, and he got away with it, too! |
This part of the east side retaining wall was built while I was at the site this morning. Notice more green rods being assembled. |
The retaining wall along the east and south sides is stretching out in both directions. There are no I-beams in front of the brick wall on the right side. Maybe it will get some special treatment. |
Notice the white vertical pipes in the ground at intervals along the east wall. |
I was happy to see the drilling machine at work. I couldn't see that he was drilling mud and I thought that was a good sign. |
But when I got closer, I could see why he always drills up mud. He's making it. |
I'm thinking he was designed to drill mud. |
When he was finished, he gave himself a little applause. |
When I returned along this route a few minutes later, a white pipe was stuck in the hole. I'm starting to see a pattern. I'm slow, but I get there. |
I am mystified by work in the upper north lot. Wood and workmen have been making lots of noise there for several weeks. |
Today I watched them build a coffin. |
I think this is for a Houdini act, because they took great pains to make sure that what they locked in can't get out. |
Perhaps it's for one of the wild ladders. |
Work on the underground garage entrance progresses. |
As I left the site from the post office, I took one last look at the majestic crane. |
