Day 15 - one big hole

The corner picked up a large access hole today.  The back hoe operator deftly dug out a pit and scraped it to within inches of the large support tube that he then lowered into the hole.  For such a big piece of equipment - i was amazed at the precision and fine tuning be completed.  From this access point the water line and sewer will get some attention in the days to come.​

People still continue to drive on the "closed road" - not sure if it is out of frustration or just being clueless to a big sign blocking the road that says closed.  Of course it also says businesses open - so I guess if you want to support one of those businesses - perhaps you just need to go around the sign.​

We will have our second "stakeholder" meeting Thursday morning here at the shop - I'm curious to hear how the city and project manager feel the progress is going.  I am also hoping to hear about any forms of assistance for the lack of parking and challenges to manage the detour routes.  I try to keep smiling, to keep taking it day by day and to keep looking for whatever positive experiences I can draw from this challenging time.
