Question: Seeing the pump boom fully extended and straightened made me wonder... Do pumps have any kind of adjustable/movable counterbalance weight system? Or, is it just fixed weight along with the deployable arms? Do they have to angle the boom a certain direction?
There were trenches on the hillsides, a sprinkler company on site last week, and then what appeared to be sprinkler heads visible.Was it ever confirmed if there was a sprinkler system installed on the hillsides or not?
On the inside, the concourse? That was the first thing they did after putting the topsoil down, just like on the NW hillside.The cement walkway has NOT been poured on the NE hillside yet, correct?
Meh... yawn.....er...lawn.I posted that the camera wasn’t swinging east again—and someone obliged.
Thanks!

That works for me!There were trenches on the hillsides, a sprinkler company on site last week, and then what appeared to be sprinkler heads visible.
The latter immediately before they installed the sod.
Does that count as “confirmed”? Sorry, it’s the best I can do.
Maybe someone can snare a shot of the sprinklers running. That should happen before long.
We were discussing a few weeks back whether there would be a safety rail on the hillside walls next to the Jake. After seeing a construction worker sit on top of one to eat something, I can see the practicality of having something up there that would make it very uncomfortable to sit there and watch a football game, not to mention safety considerations. Of course they could put in a basket like Wrigley FieldJust estimating the remaining steps on the outdoor work…speaking as an admitted rank amateur.
On Jack, the NW hillside, now that the concourse sidewalk is poured:
A. Remove the forms, close the topsoil gap and concrete saw.
B. Trench for irrigation system.
C. Install irrigation system.
D. Place sod.
E. Close gap from ramp to concourse used for heavy equipment, and pour.
In front of the Jake and SPC.
F. Grade, gravel and set forms for remaining extensive walkways.
G. Trench green spaces for irrigation.
H. Install irrigation.
I. Place sod.
Please note that I don’t know where in the overall schedule “E” fits in—but it seems to me it’s the last thing they’ll need heavy equipment for, and the staging and parking areas for that heavy equipment.
This doesn’t include finishing work on the Jacobson Building or the concourse—let alone interior work on the SPC.
Am I missing anything?
