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!

BWBL Field Construction, Day 31
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.
Thanks to Matthew Morgan, Steve Owazany, Kelly Chamberlain, my Dad, my brother Dave, and my nephew Justin for the help today!

BWBL Field Construction, Day 28
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!
