I know it has been awhile. With the start of the new academic year life becomes a little crazy around here. Now they all the new students are here I can remain a little more focused on keeping the posts coming.


We continue to push on with construction at a rather rapid pace.


Almost all of the supporting walls have gone up for the terrace level of the dorm which is rather impresive to see. I have been told that they will be pouring walls every friday for awhile to stay on pace. After they pour all the walls they will then be back filling in the foundation walls to add support. Once they get the walls poured they can then take out alot of the water pumps that they have been using to lower the water shed. The weight of the foudation plus the poured walls willkeep the water shed level down.


I am impressed with the sheer science that goes along with all of this.
