Not sure what triggered the police activity tonight (Sept 20), but there are at least 5 police cars around the site, and they went in with flashlights. Also used the bullhorn to call to someone they thought was inside. Shortly after they packed up and drove away.

So here we are at the end of year 4 (since the initial ground breaking) and above ground level 6 is beginning to emerge (Sept 2021).

Progress as of June 2021. It is amazing to see how many loads of cement have been delivered to the project.

Some close-up shots (June 2021) of the crane delivering a bucket of cement to the crew, and they skillfully pour it into the wooden framing to create the walls of each apartment unit. The floor and walls for level 3 is taking shape.

Some of the walls for the first and second level apartments begin to appear in Feb thru April of 2021, and a lot more construction material is on site.

The project reached ground level by August 2020 and the first above ground level begins to take shape by December 2020.

BY June and July 2020 there has been much progress on the walls and the floor of the underground level. Staircase has been installed to allow the crew to get up to ground level.

From Nov 2019 thru Jan 2020 the boards are wrapped in a protective orange tarp, and the crane is erected. It takes just under 4 mins for the operator to descend at the end of the day.

The boards are sprayed with some messy goop (Nov 2019)

Excavation begins and boards are dropped between the beams to shore up the walls. (Sept thru Nov 2019)

The bobcat ensures that a supply of beams are readily available.

A close up view of how the drilling rig unloads the dirt which gets scooped up by the bobcat.

Photos: Drilling rig begins the task of preparing the holes for i-beams and cement is poured to secure them. I thought the cement was used to fill the holes, much like securing a fence post. However, as will be shown later, that is not the case.

Photos: Another load of i-beams is delivered to project site in September 2019.

Photos: The drilling rig arrives and begins boring the holes to plant the i-beams. The yellow crane is used to unload more beams (October 2019).

Photos: Crane unloading the i-beams that will be used to shore up the excavation (July 2019).

Photos: Preparation to excavate the central core in July 2019.

Photos: Original site and clearing. Preparation of the sales office was in October 2017, and the land was cleared in June 2019.
