Cantorwood Crew to the Rescue!

Project leader Gregg tore his quadriceps loose from his right patella while playing grass volleyball on Saturday. He'll be out for 6 months, and won't be much help on court construction. George and Kurt and Dave were there to experience it with him. They, along with Chris Nelson, have stepped up to fill the huge void left by Gregg's absence.

Hopes for completing the courts in mid-September with discounted Narrows Plaza Bowl sand slowly slipped away as the City encountered various delays with the grading plan and extended the 3 day schedule to 8 days. This left us too little time for us to dig drainage ditches, install drain pipe, fill trenches with drain material and drain rock, and spread 6" of gravel before the September 15th sand deadline.

Dave and Eric ponder what to do next...

Now that the Sept 15th milestone is blown, we're trying to press for completion at a reasonable pace. On Friday the 12th, Kurt suggested that the Canterwood crew could provide some expert help installing the drainage system. They, along with Dave, Chris, George, and Eric worked most of the day to dig the trenches, lay perforated drain pipe, and tight line the standing water to the corner of the court where the water enters a large solid pipe that the City buried. Unfortunately, no pictures of the trench work yet, but the last report was that water was flowing.
