Trucks, Bulldozers, Front End Loaders, Boundary Flags, Piles of Mulch, Silt Socks…

The H*VMI property is really beginning to look like a construction site! The ground was dry enough for the VERY large truck to begin driving around laying down the erosion and sediment control silt socks. B.R. Kreider is the excavating company we are using for the land preparation aspect of the project. They will grade the land according to the plan, and lay down the underground utilities and storm water features. Tree planting and landscaping will also be completed in this stage.

B.R. Kreider’s first priority is prepping the pad for the office so Ames Construction, H*VMI’s Building Contractor, can begin work on that. But getting to that point requires the weather and temperatures to cooperate, and now is a tough time of year for that. As you read previously we need DRY weather. If we dig while the ground is wet and we create a “mud puddle,” we will spend extra funds and time restoring the soil. H*VMI and B.R. Kreider are keeping a close eye on the weather as the days/weeks go by to decide what progress can be made. As we pray for the progress of construction, we must keep our minds focused on God, as they have been throughout the approval processes. He alone controls the timeline and HIS plans are perfect.
