trampled - april 12 2017

so this past weekend was rough. after non-stop noise from wed am to friday at 5pm, we had hoped to have saturday off. NOPE. the noise and rumbles started at 730 am and went till 515pm, at which point the cranes stopped and the air raid siren noise began. it went till mon am at 330........it is the sound of a huge vacuum or so it seems, and depending on where it is being used is how loud it is at our house. so we'd get 30 to 60 minutes of quiet, and 30 to 60 minutes of air raid siren. all weekend long.

to add to that - the cement dust flying off the huge piles of materials across the street was awful. 20 to 30 foot tall clouds of ground limestone and sand blowing up and across the complex. mostly, luckily, it went to the north, but when it came toward us because of wind shifts - we all had to go in the house.


yuck.

sent some emails about noise and dust - had no response.


have found since starting blog that numerous people are more worried than before - worried about my mental and emotional health. to me - creative people use ugly things to make art. i feel better letting it out. i feel better telling people on this page instead of spewing it out of my mouth over and over in person, or trying to say nothing because it is not PC to speak up against FORD......or whatever. i made an album called I HATE PEOPLE and no one really batted an eye, but i write a blog about hating FORD and everyone thinks  i've gone batshit. that's pretty funny if you ask me.


waiting to see what happens next. glad some leaves are filling in on the trees. can't wait for FORD to come plant the rest of the 1,000 foot fence line they promised to plant......


piles of rebar

piles of stuff used to make cement, and chopped up old cement

the big packing crate being used to house various things for on site construction - that tarp blows freely in the wind each day

new bright lights for working at night, like they did this last wed and thurs nights

they don't seem to care that people live over here - it is bright at night now - far brighter than it used to be

some cement haze - need to get better pics as it is still happening

beep beep beep

these cement trucks rumble and leave big billowing clouds of dust everywhere they go

back to the living room window - still got cranes out there - been there since about jan first 2017.

the new parking deck IN THE CENTER OF CAMPUS. i did not use that much zoom. it's huge.

and it is now as wide on each side - not just the side i can see - it will be square. the one across from us will be AS TALL but only 300 or less feet away (this one is about 1,000) and it will be a rectangle

big trucks. all day - big trucks. empty or full they all rumble the same.
