Let's dig while the sun shines!
















Now that there is a break in the rainy days, the mud has dried up some and the plumbers are working on the building plumbing and sewer lines. Did you ever wonder how they know what to put where? There is a stack of drawings about an inch thick that details what goes where in the project. Let's hope that the man in the blue shirt (picture 1) is good at reading plans! These pictures were taken from the balcony in Building A, near apartment 7. In the first picture, the plumbing for the 4 story building nearest Cecil Street in visible (that's the Methodist Hospital annex in the right background). In picture 2 the men are standing in the sewer line trench for the east 4 story building. It's about 6 feet deep. Keep doing the "sun dance!"
