Part 1: Working on a Saturday (3/7/09)

My wife had to work on Saturday (from home) and my son was visiting his grandmother, so I woke up I decided to make a trip to City Island to check out how things were going. When I arrived on the island and opened my car door I was very surprised to hear the beeping of construction vehicles. This is the first time, that I am aware of, that they were working on a Saturday. I grabbed my camera and made the quick trip up the steps to the stadium area.

Here is what I saw….

1.) View from the top of the hill by the horse carriage area.


2.) Smoothing/leveling the surface.


3.) Checking to see if the ground is level.


4.) Moving dirt to fill in holes.


5.) Mixing concrete.


6.) Filling in holes by the Commerce Bank Sign.


7.) Scoreboard with everything removed and only the skeleton remaining.


8.) View from behind the scoreboard.


9.) Working in the centerfield area where the decking and picnic area will be located.


10.) Rebar


11.)The crane was just hanging around.


12.) Break Time
