Tuesday, Sept 23 - Tree Falling Cont.

Monday, Sept. 22 The Cedar Tree - Prep

I met a wonderful neighbor, Kurt, that I'd exchanged a few emails with to discuss what we might be able to do with the cedar tree. Thank you to Sarah for passing on Kurt's info! We took a close look at the tree to scope out the possibilities. Kurt has very graciously given us his time, advice, and offered to help us. His help has already been invaluable and we look forward to working with you further.
Thank you Kurt!

Here are a few pictures from scoping it out.

Wednesday, September 17th

We had our first site meeting with the architect's present. We all walked the site and talked about where we were at.
The formwork on the southwest building was just getting started.
The earthwork on the northwest building was just about ready to go.
And they were infilling the old basement on the old north building.

It's about time ...

Okay, so I know it's been awhile. It's been a crazy couple of weeks. On top of all the work related things going on, I was gone the last two weekends. We had our annual community retreat a week and a half ago and it was fabulous! I've been trying just to catch up and stay on top of all the construction work. I have taken lots of photos though, so I'll add them by date so you can see the progress. Enjoy!

It's almost all down!

The substrate on the west building is ready for the formwork and just awaiting test results.
They began tearing into the existing parking lot to start the earthwork for the north building.
And the third existing building is almost down!
Take one last look at our beautiful cedar tree. It will be turned into benches, artwork, and more for our future community!




Also, Deconstruction Services held an on-site tour to explain the deconstruction process and a little about Daybreak.

A lot happens in just a week...

Look at it now! There's a giant hole in the ground. We've removed lots of dirt, and are bringing back structural fill for the first building! You can see the outline/edge of the first building now!

The second existing building is down, and the third building is about half way there!

Here are a few photos from this week!
