Wow. What a day.
Not only did we finish the parapets, we actually got one of the retaining walls painted. Yeah, you read right. I'm tellin' you, this is some crew!
I will tell you this, we are tired. Bone tired. That sun sucks it right out of you. But these guys are troopers. They keep on plugging.
We got together and talked about how best to approach the retaining walls, and came up with some good suggestions. Of course, they all went out the window once we actually got on a wall. OK, I'm kidding. But we were loose and able to adjust accordingly. As you can see from the pictures below, it all came off well. Very well, actually. I am more than pleased.
We'll work off of the ground again tomorrow, and then the lifts will be here Thursday. Another interesting chapter I'm looking forward to.
Ordered some more Primasil today. This paint is as thick as drywall mud, so we are going to need a lot more Primasil to thin it. Delivery is going to be an issue, I know. So I am tentatively making plans to simply go and pick it up. In Canada. Surely it would be faster than waiting on standard delivery trucks.
Another gorgeous day today, with another planned for tomorrow. Not really expecting any significant rain until next week. Keep your fingers crossed. Of course, with this crew, they might want a day or two of rain. Just for a breather.
Hey - I'm not really that bad.
Later.

Here we are finishing up on the last parapet. I just think it's amazing everytime I look at these guys. For the most part, this is the first they have met each other, and it's so cool how well they work together. I just get kinda...misty...
Getting started on the second half of the project took some doing, but just like before, they jumped right in and worked as if they have been working together for years.
This is a shot of the original sample wall that was approved by the State...
...and this is the first finsihed wall. Amazing, isn't it? It blows me away when everything comes together.
This is a shot of the wall as you are approaching it on the highway. Blends in just about as much as it can, don't you think? I'm really proud of all of the crew. Fabulous job. Now, go get a beer.
