End of August

The last couple of weeks saw the completion of the manure pit and further dirt work. The walls of the pit were poured yesterday and the forms are being stripped today. The guys are working on a loading dock and concrete slab to be ready for the arrival of the first of many shipping containers. Materials and equipment will start rolling in soon.

Beginning of August

The weather cooperated for awhile...but the end of July it started raining. The job site has been getting afternoon showers, fairly consistently.  Dirt moving is progressing and the processing pit has been started and should be completed by the end of this week.

Dirt Work Continues

Things are taking shape now, compacting is happening and the weather is cooperating. A tropical storm was suppose to hit the end of July but it fizzled and we just had some wind and 3 inches of rain.
