September 26, 2012
Another slow work day, but we were able to get the water turned on (with only a few small leaks -- hose piping, toilet, kitchen faucet) and the remaining pieces of fence capping up. Also, the clubhouse received a good first water-based cleaning, as well as the bathroom. A first coat of paint was also added to the bathroom.
Work today began early again -- 8 am to 10 am -- and continued from 5 pm to 8:30 pm.
Thanks to Matthew Morgan, Deidre Kling, Kelly Chamberlain, and my Mom and Dad for their work, and to Shannon Davis-Zippilli, TJ Hannon, Bob, Melissa, and birthday boy Bobby Loftus for stopping by, too!

BWBL Field Construction, Day 32
September 25, 2012
Today was a day that didn't see a whole lot of work accomplished -- instead, we opted to have a lot of batting/pitching practice. We were able to get the backflow regulator replaced, which is a big step to having water service on Saturday. We also got the delivery of our second advertising sign, courtesy of Johnnie Boy's Crave Cart (sign by Himmer Graphics). Additionally, the hole in the outfield chain link has been repaired.
"Work" began at 5 pm and ended around 8 pm.
Thanks to birthday boy Matthew Morgan, Thomas Nahill, my Mom and Dad, Damian and Will, and Fred Gunn Jr. for stopping by on Tuesday!

September 24, 2012
Today was a day to get electricity and water, but only one was a success. The electricity was able to be turned on without much of a hitch, but thanks in part to a not-so-stable worker, the water was not able to be hooked up. We will need to get a new backflow regulator to complete that portion of the job.
Additionally, a drag net was worked on for the infield, but not quite finalized. Some more of the outfield fence capping was added today, too. The storage shed also got a good cleaning, but there were termites in the old signage from the Little League, so that problem has to be addressed -- quickly.
Work today began early -- going from around 8 am to 10:30 am -- and continuing from 5 pm to 8:30 pm.

BWBL Field Construction, Day 30
September 22, 2012
A long day of work brought about some great results! We were able to begin capping the outfield fencing with a nice yellow trim, place the right field foul pole, paint more of the clubhouse, darn near finish the warning tracks in left and right, as well as the slight hill in center, and build the center field deck! We also commissioned the design of the logo for Diamond City Park, which will be unveiled a week from today at the BWBL Autumn Classic.
Work began today at 8 am and didn't wrap up until 8:45 pm. There was a brief period of rain, but no more than 10 minutes was lost due to it.
Thanks go to: my brother Dave, Matthew Morgan, my Dad and my nephew Justin, Bob and Melissa Loftus, Bob, Andy Peck, Kelly Chamberlain, Jeremy, and Jesse Ragugini!

BWBL Field Construction, Day 29
September 21, 2012
Today brought about just as much fun as it did work -- there needs to be room for both! More painting was done on the clubhouse, including some of the hard to reach areas. We also started to plan for the deck building tomorrow, as well as received the capping for the lower levels of fencing.
Work began today at 4:30 pm and finished around 7:30 pm.

September 20, 2012
Today brought about some good work that will go a long way to making things happen by next Saturday! A large portion of the mound of dirt in center field was leveled, the majority of the clubhouse wall that face the park is finished, the left field wall is painted, and the foul poles are under construction and partially painted! That's a lot of work for not a lot of time today.
Work began around 10 am, with a big break, and concluded around 8 pm.
Thanks to Matthew Morgan, Will Markovich, Kelly Chamberlain, Bob and Melissa Loftus, and my Dad for the hard working day!

BWBL Field Construction, Day 27
September 19, 2012
Cleanup, painting, and building preparation were all part of the docket today, with a little bit of dirt moving, too.
A good sweeping was done within the lower portion of the clubhouse to help get things cleaned out. A full cleaning won't be able to be completed until water service is restored, but it's looking a LOT better than it did just two days ago.
More paint was added to the clubhouse wall that faces Diamond City Park, and fresh paint is a good thing.
The building supplies necessary for the construction of a 120-square-foot deck in center field were shopped for and purchased, as were supplies for both foul poles.
As has been the custom at the field over the last several work days, more dirt was moved to try to level out the areas near the outfield fence, too. There will be more of this to come in the next several days, too, as this is no easy (or small) task.
Work today began at 5 pm and ended around 8 pm.
Thanks to today's helpers, including: Deidre Kling, Matthew Morgan, my Mom and Dad, Kim Ava Hirel, TJ Hannon, and Christina Neishell!

BWBL Field Construction, Day 26
September 18, 2012
With rain pouring down on the Wyoming Valley all day, there wasn't much construction going on today, but that doesn't mean there was no work done!
The kitchen portion of the clubhouse got a decent cleaning out of garbage, and a minor sweep job. Much more will need to be done with this once we have running water.
The crow's nest part of the clubhouse was also cleaned out of garbage, as well as some minor cleaning.
All told, three cans of garbage and two bags of recycling were packed up from these two areas.
Work today began at 5 pm and ended around 7:15 pm.
Thanks to my Dad for his help today!

Today was a day to work on the clubhouse as much as on the field. We changed both deadbolts on the clubhouse (one to the kitchen and one to the crow's nest) and painted a decent portion of the side facing the field of the clubhouse. We also did some dirt movement in the outfield area to try and level things off better, as well as painting of portions of the center field wall, and sanded the left field wall in preparation for painting.
Work today began at 5 pm and ended at 8 pm.

What a great day of work at new Diamond City Park! From early on, there was lots to accomplish, and plenty of hands to help! The large wall in left was caulked and prepped, another coat of paint was put on the right field wall, plenty of dirt was moved around the infield, the dugout fencing on the third base side was painted, we got the shed cleaned out as well as the clubhouse key, we dug and put dirt into the new home plate area, and were able to hit some balls, too!
Work today began at 8 am and ended at 8 pm.
Hope I don't miss someone, as there were so many to help, but here goes - thanks to: Matthew Morgan, Thomas Nahill, Bob and Melissa Loftus, Steve Owazany, Andy Peck, my brother Dave, his wife Jesse Shergalis Sickle, my nephews Justin and Ryan, Kelly Chamberlain, my Mom and Dad, and the three neighborhood kids who volunteered their time!
I can't thank everyone enough for the great work today -- we're going to be all set for opening day on the 29th!

Today brought dirt - a LOT of dirt (a shade over 65 tons of infield mix)! Delivery began early (around 7:30 am), but was finished by 10 am. Early on, some of the mix was placed along the first base side, and later in the day, a good portion of the main infield was given a starter layer. Once a roller can be purchased (heading to Stroudsburg tomorrow morning for the right sized one), it can be compacted, with more layers to be added.
Work began around 7 am, with a break from about 9 am to 5 pm, continuing from 5 pm to 8 pm.
Thanks to Matthew Morgan for the big hand today with delivery, as well as my Mom and Dad for helping to get a good amount of the dirt set up!
This weekend has a lot of opportunity for work, especially Saturday, so if you are available, stop on by and lend a hand!

Today brought about the removal of all of the excess 4" X 4" posts above wall level. Additionally, the warning track was raked and prepped for dirt delivery. We were able to purchase a new gas weed wacker, as well!
The dirt prep is a big step to help make sure we are ready for the upcoming opening day, and the gas weed wacker will help make field maintenance and curb appeal so much easier!
Work today began around 6 pm and ended around 8 pm.

With the threat of rain supposed to last all day, we got off to a fast and furious start, only to stop shortly after two o'clock for the remainder of the day.

Although there wasn't a whole lot of heavy lifting being done, there was some very important work that got accomplished today, and we had a new helper stop by and put in some good time!
The top wooden layer of the dugouts was painted, and boy do they look sharp! Also, we went with outdoor caulking to seal up the spaces between the boards in the outfield wall -- it should be ready for some painting tomorrow! Also, the rest of the third base line was dug out in preparation for dirt delivery early next week.
The work day began at 5 pm and ended around 8:15 pm.
Thanks to Matthew Morgan, Bob, Timmy McGraw, and my Mom and Dad for their help today!
Tomorrow is a big 12-hour work day, starting at 8 am -- stop on by and lend a hand to help us reach our goal of opening up on September 29th!

Work today consisted of cutting some of the 4X4 posts, finalizing infield prep, painting dugouts, getting material to support dirt near the wall, and puttying all of the screws below the four foot level.
A chainsaw was used to level off half of the posts in the fence, with the other half to be completed soon. The last few shovels were dug to prepare for the backhoe that is scheduled to come tomorrow to help remove the dirt from the infield base paths. Lots of painting was done on the dugouts, including the majority of the green for this area. Asphalt felt was purchased to place in the gap under unlevel spots near the fence in order to hold dirt from sliding underneath. The screws were all puttied up to a height of four feet. That means all that needs to be done now are the knots and the screws on the big wall up to 12 feet.
Work began at 5 pm and ended around 8:15 pm.
Thanks to Matthew Morgan, Curtis Ely, Kelly Chamberlain, Deidre Kling, and Bob and Melissa Loftus for their help on Wednesday! If I forgot anyone, please give yourself some credit for work that day!

Rain kept things in question the majority of the day and into the evening, as periods of drizzle, downpour, and just plain rain prevented a lot of work from being done. Half of the third base path was able to be dug out by hand, however, as well as painting in both dugouts - including the green paint.
The work day began at 5:30 pm and ended at 8:15 pm.
Thanks to Kim Ava Hirel, TJ Hannon, and Matthew Morgan for helping out in between raindrops today!
Work is scheduled to continue tomorrow from 5 pm to dark -- hope to see you there!

September 1, 2012
The last day of our second week of construction saw a great milestone -- all of the fencing - including the 12-foot monster in left - is up and primed! We even included two gates, one in left center and one in right center, to help retrieve home run balls (thanks to my Dad for being the first one with that idea)! Some more mound leveling was done today, too.
The work day began at 8:30 am and concluded at 5 pm. Today was another hot one!
Thanks to Ryan Hart, Matthew Morgan, Steve Owazany, Andy Peck, and my Dad for some great work today!

With the wall set to be completed tomorrow, we decided to start leveling off the mound -- what a task! The heat of the day didn't help, either. It's going to take a while, but it's also going to look good! Lots of scraping and painting was done on the third base dugout, and we even got access to the shed, which meant grass cutting!
Work today began at 8:15 am and ended at 8:30 pm.
Thanks to Matthew Morgan, Steve Owazany, Ryan Hart, Bob and Melissa Loftus, Fred Gunn Jr., and my Dad for the help today!
