The only activity onsite today was delivery of a large waste bin later in the afternoon.
The driver was unsure where to put the bin and was unable to get hold of anyone who could tell him. The council VP happened to be passing by and advised him to put it in the four spaces that had been requested and reserved by Prostar adjacent to the 244 building, as shown below1.
This information was obtained from the Council Vice President. Note: The Council VP is my partner, but the information and observations on Phase 1 are normally my own. ↩︎

It was back to school for kids today, and back to work for the membrane project!
Today, the work primarily consisted of removing the gravel/river rock from areas around the back of the 244 building, as well as the wooden beams that were holding the gravel in.
I also observed that four of the eight spaces that had been reserved for Prostar in the central part of the visitor parking had been opened up. I assume this was done by Prostar. Prostar also put cones down in the four stalls adjacent to their work area, by the 244 building, which makes sense, as it is where equipment like the excavator and dump truck have been operating. One of the parking stalls is the accessible one for the 248 building. I do not know if a temporary accessible stall will be made available elsewhere while this one is out of service.

Your current council VP has cleaned the Copperstone sign and cleaned and painted the signpost at the entrance to the complex. Here are some before and after shots.
