Today, we are one step closer to having additional parking spots in the parking lot. APAC Shears starting laying asphalt both in the front of the church (creating the new parking spots at the corner of 43rd and Monroe, and around the new driveway that will go around the new building. Laying asphalt is a hot, slight smelly job! The asphalt comes off the dump truck at 275-325 degrees. You can feel the waves of heat coming off the newly laid asphalt from 15 feet away! The men constantly check the depth and width of the new asphalt as the large machine carefully lays it down. This is followed by several passes of a steam roller to flatten and compact the surface. This first layer is just the base layer. The final top finishing layer will be laid on the new parking spots tomorrow, but the new driveway will wait until construction is finished to receive it's finishing layer.
Mike Dierking started constructing the new temporary wall in the south entrance, which means there goes our air conditioned viewing portal. But this is necessary for safety reason (at least that's what OSHA says). I guess we have to trust them (OSHA, not Hutton. We already trust Hutton!).
By the way, some were wondering where my initials were in the slab. Here's a hint.
