- Just two crew today, one to supervise and one
to run the resident orange backhoe filling an
uneven trickle of twenty dump trucks; slow work
which ended by noon.

- A beautiful 6A sunrise was prelude to work that
started early at 7A and went until 5P. However, it
was the same activities as the last several days.
The orange backhoe filled dump trucks that
barely fit into the gate. Cement trucks unloaded
from Military Road to the crane bucket and then
to the foundation footings. Crew work continued
on the retaining walls. (2:05 min)

- Today, what looked like walls started going up,
dissecting the middle of the site. At 9:30A the
dump truck schedule started again, so the
cement trucks had to revert to loading the crane
bucket from Military Road. The crew continued
work on the north and west walls. (1:38 min)

- Another day of building a bigger throne for the
King of the Hill as the other two excavators dug
holes for the footings. And another queue of
cement trucks filling the holes. The webcam
finally had a better few of the work the crew has
been doing, now that it is doing it to the Military
retaining wall. The fast moving clouds gave
today’s time-lapse video a strobe effect making it
difficult to watch. (1:23 min)

- The excavators kept piling the dirt at the gate
until they had created a new connection to the
driveway and a new hill for the King of the Hill
resident backhoe. The crane was in almost
constant motion unloading the load an almost
constant queue of cement trucks into the
foundation holes managed by a large crew, just
now becoming visible to the webcam. (1:18 min)

Nothing fun to watch even though everyone and
everything was busy.
