The big bubble which recently appeared under the center spire indicates that the building is finally closed off enough that heat can stay inside, which is good. The annex, the last time I asked, was still a dangerous construction zone as the workmen remove the waffle plating and those steel supports they used when the roof was poured. I'll ask again and see if they are close to starting construction there.Julie Markhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11263863405353025499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599222840274804102.post-57076525385579781632014-01-22T14:04:27.556-07:002014-01-22T14:04:27.556-07:00Things are looking wonderful!

The huge pile of dirt at the south entrance was some of what got moved, but as I'm typing this paragraph, I'm remembering that there was gravel brought in from outside the site, too. Once this is all complete, the pumps will be turned off and the ground water will flow freely, and definitely, gravel will be a good choice to have on that east side.Julie Markhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11263863405353025499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599222840274804102.post-50965127637636349922014-01-21T17:26:13.458-07:002014-01-21T17:26:13.458-07:00I believe the dirt in the cages is actually gravel...I believe the dirt in the cages is actually gravel that has been wrapped in geo-fabric and then caged so it stays in place. This would be used as a final defense against ground water (which seems very prevalent on this site) from ever reaching the temple foundation. Any coming in from the side would reach the gravel cage wall and then would fall....where it is routed around the temple to the sump pump and piped away from the site. This is a fairly cool update on the traditional French drain. They aren't just messing around here!
