    Hi,

    I fixed the north side drainage problem today and had help moving several yards of dirt in rough placement.

    I will not be back to measure, flag and supervise until Tuesday. No design or finishing work until then.

    All of our work needs to be within the framework handed out earlier and repeated here. The framework we follow comes from from professional sources, on the city's dime, and they're the rules.

    Build in this order:

    1. Grading & take care of drainage (2%, and move water to the existing drainage spots)
    2. Outside berms
    3. Outside straights, including rollers and interchanges
    4. Inside berms
    5. Inside straights, rollers and interchanges

    Grade reversal above French drain.



    Rough placement of new dirt.

    I'll try and remember to grab a couple of large tampers from work on Tuesday to help pound that all into a nice shape.

    Thank you.

    Dino said the water truck will be there late today, but can't promise dirt today. Maybe the pics don't show it, but we have a lot of dirt to shape anyway.

    See all of you later.

    It may have come from scavenging in the woods and eating stuff off the ground! I've got photographic evidence in my camera.

    Good and big news.

    The city approved using the whole of graded area as well as contractor with mini excavator. We'll have a 110 x 50 foot pump track!

    We are scheduling the excavator and look forward to your help finishing the project.

    We're putting off machine work until after the holiday due to lack of response. We need a significant shovel crew in order to have the mini excavator alter the existing area and keep the place open.

    I'm posting a template of the dimensions for anybody interested in submitting design ideas. It's a .pdf here and I can supply a Visio file.

    Thank you.

    Update:

    1. Word is we have the water truck tonight and a load of better dirt.
    2. I need to know schedules and helpers so we can get the machine operator and shovel crew coordinated. Can anybody take some day time one of these next two Friday's? Any week days?

    Thank you.
