The web cam images posted to the web site appear to have gotten “stuck” again on the image from the dreary June 13th.  A reboot of the computer seems to have gotten the images back on track and uploading correctly.  The part that bothers me the most (beside the fact that I dropped the ball by not monitoring the web cam better) was that we missed posting the images of the steel beams going in!  I’ll try to check the cam at least weekly from now on, but if anyone notices it getting “stuck” again, drop a note to webmaster@glenmarumc.org

Larry Resch and I met at the site this evening to check on the WebCam which seems to have gone on the fritz again. With much technical savvy Larry was able to correct the problem (he rebooted the computer) and everything seems to work fine.

We took this opportunity to take a little tour of the pad.

We now have interior masonry walls going up:

And structural steel reaching to the sky:

This is a better “big picture view” of the east side of the lower level:

And of the west side of the lower level:

Here is a view of our entrance driveway and the west parking lot with this beautiful black pickup in the foreground:

Yes, I had to climb that to get these shots, I never know from day to day how high our mount will be as it changes according to the needs of the site work. Today at about 30 feet above the parking lot it is about as high as it has been:

Here I am standing in the middle of what is to be the realigned New Cut Road just a few feet north of the Glen Mar entrance to my back and right (which is east). I am looking north where the bed will follow around and connect into the existing New Cut Road:

This is turning south with Glen Mar entrance now on my left and I am facing toward Montgomery Road. Word continues to be that the road should be finished in about 60 to 90 days:

Here I am standing “about” where a car would be entering Montgomery Road from New Cut: Not a bad site line looking west….

but looking east!!! (note the silt fence does block some view):

We should be hearing from the State pretty soon about the results of the Traffic Study and whether or not a signal is warranted.
