So our 3 inches of snow finally dried up. Racing to get the last three large slabs in. 40/30/40 wide; 230/250/250 long.
They had the crushed rock layed and smoothed out with a skid steer. To get it truly flat they use a Screed to level across the 40 foot width. The screed is both moving towards...

Adjust to your plans:
a. We space our lights every seven units. If two rows face each other, we only put lights on one side. These lights spread pretty good.
b. Add lights at the ends and gate areas, depending on not affecting neighbors.

Little further info from yesterday. This is a Friday, before the weekend. They decided to pour part of the footing above just so weather or anyone didn't get dirt in the trench. They then finished digging the rest of the trench.

Pads on the previous pictures have now been poured. Showing you the side angle. The gap between these pads is due to the sewer line to the apartment above running through. I was not allowed to build over it. Had to leave a 20 foot gap. The line is about 12 foot deep.
