Eardrum Break!

Wow! I can't believe what a week break from the construction traffic can do for your eardrums! On the other hand, I can't believe how much work was done during that week that I missed! :(

To the untrained eye, it appears they dug a hole and then refilled it in with dirt. To a more eyewitness account, they actually dug at least 4 ft below the existing elevation to compact the soil and ensure we don't go rockin' and rollin' too much during a quake. (Not a big fan of re-shelving all of those books afterwards, if you know what I mean...)

We have a somewhat level "field of dreams" around back and I can't wait to see what they do next week!

Lookin' Good

After being away for a couple of days and returning to a pile of dirt where the basketball court use to be, I was surprised and happy to find out that FINALLY construction had begun! It looked as if we were about to get a large swimming pool, but no it was just the dirt that had been dug out. Oh well, maybe next year.

The story so far....

It was very surprising to look out the office window and see that we no longer had a basketball court. All you can see now are piles of cracked cement and dirt.We also don"t have our walk way leading up to the firestation anymore : ( .... (how am I going to get my cup of coffee now?)

I personally cant wait to see our quiet study and Friends of the Library Room get knocked down and then re-built.
