Progress Report: November 19, 2007

Today's Activities

Equipment & trailer staging complete. Safety & procedural meeting conducted w/all employees. Safety fence installed. Warning/notice signs put up throughout the hotel. Layout of patio completed. Tree/stump removal completed. Excavation of fireplace footer completed, rebar reinforcement installed. Excavation of wall footer started.

Tomorrow's Planned Activities

Install temporary sidewalk from 2nd level exit/entrance around construction site. Continue w/wall footer excavation. Pour concrete for fireplace footer. Begin to install wall footer (crushed stone). Begin to install drain tile around patio.

Safety Concerns

Safety procedures in place seem to be working well and all residents are complying. Positive feedback received. Reviewed temporary sidewalk w/residents and got feedback on same. Compacted stone dust appears to be the solution and will not interfere w/wheelchairs, walkers, canes or crutches as long as it drains in a positive fashion. Contractor provided excellent spotting for all equipment and flagmen for all delivery trucks.

Material Deliveries Made

2-4 stone deliveries in Ernest Maier dump trucks. Concrete delivery in Ernest Maier ready mix concrete truck. Block delivery in Ernest Maier flat bed truck w/forklift.

Comments

Fantastic cooperation from the security staff, hotel staff and residents. Slow start to the day because of weather and traffic but contractor was able to get caught up and back on schedule.
