trampled - april 6th, 2017 part two

So what did i mean "bringing up"? What did that contractor mean by "who knows what FORD could be bringing up"?

The one thing i am happy about in regards to my bitching and complaining and causing such a commotion in the spring of 2016 is that it caused FORD to make one major change in it's parking deck pile footings. Instead of using the standard technique of vibrating them 100 foot down into the ground and then banging on them for the last 10 to 20 feet, they have been using a different technique on our side of the overhaul. They must have realized that the traditional vibration installation would destroy our homes, and so they opted to drill 100 foot deep holes in the ground. Each hole gets a huge hollow tube put into it, and that tube is filled with grout. The outside of the tube is surrounded with cement. Or maybe the other way around, but it means the piles are not being vibrated in. They are not shaking our houses into little tiny pieces.

However, this means the cranes are drilling down into the land with 100 foot augers, and the debris that comes out of each hole is then left in piles around the construction site. To dry out and blow around, to get wet and sloppy and then dry out and blow around. And that is what is interesting. The stories of how much and how many weird things FORD buried on it's property to "dispose" of them......what is down there? And where? And would any of those construction workers actually know? If they were boring a 100 foot hole into a cache of old harmful building materials – would they be told about it? Would we?

So in the midst of being thankful for my house not shaking apart, i have to wonder what is being brought out of the earth and let into the air. Besides actually seeing the cement dust and debris, and tasting it in the air and having it bother my lungs. I have a hard time with how no one else seems to even notice, or if they do – that they say nothing. But that is the norm. People not speaking up and not getting up in arms and not complaining. It's like having a neighbor who you know is being beaten and never going to the cops. Or knowing kids are being abused and just standing by because you think you can't make a difference.

I told someone this week that me standing up to FORD is like saying the Beatles were bigger than God. It's a stance that most no one will agree with.

Will add more pics later or tomorrow of all the new lights and ugly things that are popping up across from our house. The engine running loud roar in the air has now gone on non-stop for 36 hours, accompanied today by many banging metal and booming sounds. Still have not received a time line. Would love to know of an indepnedent air test company........
