Evolution of a Radio Site Week 3

Week 3 of Evolution of a Radio Site Shows you just how fast things change in a couple of weeks. All of the grading work has been completed and the foundation for the pre-fabricated building is complete (the concrete pad everyone is standing on). The piece of equipment in use is a drilling rig that is used to drill the three 36inch diameter holes for the foundations of the 100ft tower. Unfortunately the drill managed to hit a solid block of granite about 12 feet down while drilling the 3 holes required. So after a replacement drill bit was found and some more hard work by the drilling crew they managed to get the job done. I also know what everyone is thinking, typical government job with so many people standing around watching, except everyone of these people has a job to do. There was the drilling crew, the construction crew, the contractors construction manager, the counties construction manager and the counties building inspector. All of them were there making sure that the work was done safely and to the standards required by building codes and county standards.
