Dirt being moved from south campus to the construction site. |
Starting on Friday June 4 fill dirt was being added to the
building site. The source of this fill dirt is from another place on the Mount
Michael grounds located behind
the tree line south of the water treatment plant and apple orchard. It's entrance is directly across from the intersection of
Mount Michael Road and the schools drive way.
They made lots of progress on Friday but a heavy down pour
of over one inch of rain Friday evening left things pretty muddy. Never-the-less
the work crew was back at it on Saturday.
They scrapped the muddiest top layer to the ends of the site to dry and
commenced where they left off.
The DJ Sokol Learning for Life Building will be on slightly
higher ground than the existing building once all the dirt is hauled in and
compacted. It is estimated that it will
take about 50 uncountable loads to provide enough material for the desired elevation.
