Dirty work continues!




























The digging/scraping/pushing dirt crews were out in full force on Wednesday, November 22. It was pretty noisy! The first picture shows the "footprint" of the new community room/office building. Picture was taken from west end of Building C looking toward Cecil St. The second picture shows the "mountain" of dirt - note bulldozer that has climbed to the top of it - that has been made. (The area in picture one is just on the other side of the mountain of dirt.) In the foreground, the machine operator is working on the space for the west four story apartment building. Also, note black fabric dirt retaining fence on the left side of picture two. You can see Building A in the background on the left and Buildings C and D in the background on the right.
