March Shower Brings April Whiting-Turner Empower?

First, let me apologize for being unsociable.
I’ve added an “add this” bar to the end of each post so you can now easily link, email, tweet, digg, or otherwise share any post to almost any “sociable media” platform around. If you want to link to the home page use the buttons to the right. Also if you want to quickly see any of the videos posted here click on the YouTube button on the right which will take you to the FSITH YouTube Channel.
Last week was a busy one. Not so much for the garage as 21st Rd., where crews started work on curb and gutters from Lee Hwy to approx where the mini-park will be developed. I’m going to hold off posting pics from that work for a day or so because there are a lot of them. Check back in a few days or link to the RSS feed and wait for notification.
Last Saturday most of the brick veneer work was finished. The only totally unfinished section left is a small section on the east side and a tiny part of the NE corner. There are also a few areas that have not been mortared yet.
Also, last week, the railing out side the Lee Hwy exit was painted beige to match the roof.
So with not too many to-do items left to check off on Koons garage construction and the FS3 site getting a chance to dry out with this great weather it seems a hand-off to Whiting-Turner shouldn’t be too far off now for sure. Anyway here’s a couple more garage construction pics from last week:

Take A Break Driver 8, Driver 8 Take A Break

We can reach our destination, but were still a ways away (Driver 8 by R.E.M).
If you are local you’ve probably already noticed that the 21st Rd Realignment is complete for this phase of construction.
The next major phase is sheeting and shoring for both the Koons Garage and fire station 3, and the construction of the Koons Garage. I think that is a few weeks off though. This makes for a convenient break to see how far we’ve come. Below are some “before,” and “after” pics of the 21st Rd. realignment. It’s also the perfect time for me to take a pause too with the holiday season approaching. So this will be my last post for the year. Plenty more posts to come thought. That is for sure.

A Little Light Work
November 21st, 2008
Yesterday the county threw some of Jack’s magic beans on sidewalk to the left of the Barrington II TH entrance and grew a new Carlyle light. It replaces the one removed to make way for the sewer drain on the other side of the driveway. It’s screened off now awaiting new sidewalk to surround it.
Here is the old and the new
Roadbed was also put down on the 21st re-route portion:
