Fire (Station) in the Hole

Archive for the ‘Old Dominion’ Category

The first parts of the wall were cast last week leaving not to much to see looking down from 21st Rd. There is still a little more height to be added too. Next photo is the western most side of the back wall followed by the view from Old Dominion and the east corner of the Koons/FS3 property line.

Here’s pics of FS3 construction progress from last week. I’ll let you pick out the changes since that is a popular time waster. Pictures start at Old Dominion, go to the corner of the Koons Garage and FS3 Site, and then up to 21st Rd. You’ll have to provide your own timer. I don’t know Flash. (PSA: New Flash security hole. Read here.)

Well the day finally came when the FS3 site needed to be better secured. The Old Dominion side is now 100% fenced in and the 21st Rd side has been fortified with extra fencing. For now I’m using a monopod and remote shutter release to give me a little height to get over the fencing while at a safe distance (I lift up the camera on the monopod about 4 ft. over my head and then press the remote).The only decent and safe place to take pictures now is near the fence that borders Koons Garage with the FS3 site. A wall will be going up there soon, so not really a long term option. Same goes with taking pictures from 21st Rd. Once the back wall goes up there won’t be much to see from that vantage point either. It’s not the best situation but thankfully there is photo correction software.

Form work and trenching continued last week. Pictures below go from Old Dominion to the Koons/FS3 line to 21st Rd.:
