*NOTE: This posting is being done two days after the fact, but the thoughts are still fresh.
August 20, 2012
Today was the first day of field construction for what will be the new BWBL field, on the site of the former North End Little League field. Over the course of the next few weeks, we will be transferring a no-longer-utilized piece of land into a great place for members of the City and surrounding community to have lots of fun!
The day began at 8 am and didn't wrap up until around 9 pm. Plenty of holes were dug (17, to be exact), and the first three posts were put in place. These posts started at the left field foul line and went toward center. Each of these, as well as the first 11 posts from the left field corner, are 16 foot beams. Eventually, this will be the formation of a 12-foot wall in left (yet to be named).
We bought 60 bags of 80 lb concrete today, as well as picked up the 16-foot beams, as well as 10 eight-foot beams.
Lots of people were able to help for various amounts of time throughout the day, including: Matthew Morgan, Fred Gunn Jr., TJ Hannon, Ryan Hart, Angelo Marino, Kyle Fedor, John Mooney,
and my Dad.
Be sure to keep tuned to my blog for updates (hopefully on a daily basis)!
