Equiptment at
Site:	Backhoe  (1)
	Mini Exacvator  (1)
Is equiptment close? Yes and what isn't close is stored in trailers or for bigger equiptment just parked in the overflow parking directly beside the job-site.
Are there idle workers? No, there are more workers on site than I had previously seen and everyone had a job that they were doing.
Construction Activities: Procon was excavating the soft dirt under the footings then Schnabel would test the soil then Procon would have to excavate more dirt. This went on for a large part of the day. When the soil finally passed Procon had flowable fill pumped into the excavated ares to return them to the bottom of the footing grade. The only task left for the day was to install a 6" sleeve beneath the footing for sanitary sewer.
Does safety seem to be of importance? Everyone is wearing their PPE and the site is still walled off from traffic and pedestrians.
Comments/Remarks: Now behind due to weather and having to do a lot more sub-footing excavation than planned, the game plan for the rest of the week is to set and tie the rebar and forms in the footings, install the electrical sleeves under the footings, and set the ground rod.
