I’m hoping Minnesota can go the whole year without making the national news.

Worked across the street from this today. Not much going on with this one.

Replacing the sidewalk on the 1st side this week.
They are hoping to open to partial occupancy soon.

The new fence will be 10’ tall, and similar to the one at Azine/2nd where the armored trucks enter.
The base of each post will be a minimum of 2’ into the bedrock; i.e., don’t run into it.

Soil conditions means removing contaminated soil, removing soil that is insufficient for bearing the load that will be placed upon it, or adding a mechanical solution to amend the soil. (Piling, grout columns, soil nails, etc)

We should finish sub level footings and pads by mid week for the new Lunds.
Precast and starting on the bridges on the central water feature 3-4 weeks out.

Who’s celebrating tonight with a sit down meal?

As pointed out by uptownbro, both sides have issues with how he handled the riots. The rocks and cows certainly have not warmed up to him.
I think Kendall Qualls could win vs Gov. Walz.

The first footings for that building were poured on Thursday. Two weeks to get it completely excavated.

No matter the outcome, I’m putting the over/under on lawsuits by Friday at 25.

Has anyone close to the site been bothered by the blasting? The ‘rock trencher’ was ineffective at carving out the utility trenches. (too wet) There is no way to stay on schedule using excavator mounted hydraulic breakers, so we switched over to blasting last week.

Just a reminder, even Gilligan was smart enough to listen to the Professor, not the millionaire or his wife.

I hope you are distanced/shielded from that, we have to drive 3,051 piling there.

Do you happen to have an update on which pile they're on? It's starting to drive me craaayyzee! lol

33% complete.

I’ll ask tomorrow and tell them to step it up.

On site security, evenings and weekends.

Earth retention was removed just weeks ago, now we have to do it again. Not to mention the added demolition costs.

Further commentary left out to avoid being labeled a Neanderthal.

The PW can take a chop saw to the alignment tab and spin it.

It reads as if the solution would be more police.

Hopefully, when the city enacts changes later this year or next, the social injustice specialist will be able to show these residents the error of their ways.

Vitally important to be able to get into my car and drive to the coffee shop 300 feet away.

If the spots on either side of the entrance are already taken, I will be using the drive-thru. If there isn’t one, I will drive around while my phone finds me one.

Green sod material = hydro seeding.
Mixture of grass seed, fertilizer, water, and a mulching material used to stabilize bare soil to prevent erosion.
I agree, sounds like it will be sitting as-is for a while.

The building pads where Pulte will be working is nearing completion. The deadline to have those sites ready is August 1st.
Site utility work has begun with sanitary sewer main installation. They started at the new Cretin/Montreal intersection.
