Some new activity



I'm sorry that nothing has been posted for so long but the only thing that has been happening is small groups of men wandering around blowing up rocks twice a day. Finally, the end of the blasting is in sight and today the first concrete was poured. The picture is taken from Tome library looking towards Dana (which is hidden in the trees). The other picture shows that there is still work to be done in digging out the middle wing. That picture is taken from the stairwell at the rear of Tome. I have heard, unofficially, that the blasting cost about $200,000. I'm sure there was an interesting discussion or two with the company that checked for underground rocks and reported that there would be minimal blasting needed.
