Wednesday - After the Rain

North Raleigh received what I've been told was a record "gullywasher" yesterday morning. While the mud prevented us from moving additional modulars onto the pads, a team was still able to work inside the building connecting the seams.

Brad's team is back at work assembling the middle school. More than half of the building is now assembled. This photo of the middle school hallway shows the initial work of removing the temporary walls between trailers and building out the hallway.







The elementary building now has teams connecting the wiring, plumbing, and fire-alarm systems. Please be praying for these teams' safety and workmanship.


The rain did cause some additional erosion at the site, and we've met with the company who did our grading (Mammoth Construction) about what needs to be done for additional protection from heavy storms. While we will be putting up some additional silt fences and taking other steps, the most important step is to get grass planted on the rest of the site. As we get into mid-August, it will be easier to get grass to take and not get burned up in the summer sun. Watch here for details coming of the turfing of Trinity.

On a related note, the sprigs on our fields have been busy rooting all week and are starting to show signs of surface growth (see photo)
