When it rains, they pour--some of it

Topping off the retaining wall.

From truck to form.

It's Thursday, it's May and it's rainy. That didn't stop with pouring of at least some of the concrete. Sidewalks were scheduled to be poured, but it is too wet for that. The workers did go ahead and pour the retaining wall. It will be easier to keep the water off this form than the sidewalk. It looks like sidewalks will go in next week.
 
  At Tuesday night's Men's Group, we did our usual "walk-about". Eric J. discovered what he perceived as a problem in the area leading from Fellowship Hall to the bridge going to the Chapel. There just didn't seem to be enough space for the door to open and people on the sidewalk (when it is poured) to get through. In other words, a real bottle neck. We looked at the plans and discovered that the present configuration was altered from the original plans. Talking to the contractor, that will be resolved and we will get our 5' sidewalk all the way along the back.
