Construction Overview

And the first little piece of street going into PTR’s side of the construction contract.

Oh, today we had concrete again in the rain or should I say heavy drizzle.

It started out OK, but then it came on… lucky it ended. The sun came out and we finished the concrete.

This is not the weather I remember in Sweden, but they say it is typical.

This picture is of our first piece of deck we’ll pour.

I’ll hold off tomorrow because you guessed it. It looks like more rain.

Here is an image from the event this last weekend in Avesta, Sweden.

I’ve know Roli since my first works in Austria in 2001.

He was living downstairs from me and eventually I ended up taking over his flat.

Now, Roli is our most dedicated worker here in Europe.

In the future, we’ll have to bring him state-side.

He is really helping us pull it together here in Gothenburg.

We also made a “china bank” today, but I didn’t get a good photo of it.

We had a few showers a little later in the day. So it was another day of tarps and tents.

But stay off…..

A little off the subject…..

Here is a little article from the New York Times regarding the area around Stapelbaddsparken.
