hurry up and wait ~ build-an-arena

Last week was all about the arena materials. Brad took the day off work to help delivery go smoother. I wonder what they usually do when they don't have a Brad to confirm directions, smooth out muddy temporary roads and gravel approaches, and re-re-reassure the truck drivers they won't get stuck. I guess they just line up on the road until someone figures things out.

Brad sent me a couple pics of the delivery trucks:

The arena build came to a stand still shortly after materials arrived. The schedule has been pushed back a week. Building is always a game of hurry up and wait. They are tentatively starting the structure next week, but who knows.

Our inspection crew has been busy investigating all things arena:

a small amount of fill remains


To date they have hauled 62 dump truck loads, that is 1299 ton of fill!!
