New beams added to the retaining wall

Beams ready to go!

Today I went down to the site to talk with our contractor, Mike, about the placement of the decomposed granite pathway and removal of asphalt from the site. There could be a lot of asphalt underground that we do not know about, so we have to wait and hope the process will go quickly and smoothly. Asphalt removal will be after Thanksgiving, and I can hardly wait. It is so exciting to see the street park taking shape, one week at a time!

When I was onsite they were installing the wooden beams that bridge the steel posts. Measure twice and cut once! It was a beautiful day outside, and I am hoping they were able to get all of the wooden beams put in.
