Left and came back

Twelve days since my last post and I've been plenty busy with working, traveling, spending time with family, and working again. Got the interior of the Abe Lincoln building complete and open to the public for the Labor Day weekend and was able to leave town(Cave City) and head South to P'cola to be with family for a few days.
What a great weekend! Fantastic to be with my wife and kids. Enjoyed a great lunch at Jackson's, pizza at Ozone's, and of course Sunday Dinner at Mom's.

Left early Tuesday and made my way back to Mammoth Cave.

Phase 2 of the project has started with the demolition of the remaining old Visitor Center. This project is to be LEED certified and therefore required to recycle or reuse 95% of all waste material. Every material shipment in or out of the project site is weighed to insure compliance. An authorized LEED agent is to be onsite to verify and direct waste material and refuse. Many of the construction mamagers and NPS personnel are LEED certified as well.
As with any project of this size, the startup required a great deal of paperwork and process to insure the correct methods and materials are selected. Many meetings take place to coordinate construction, detail safety procedures, and maintain the project scheduling.
