OAK RIDGE WILDCAT FOOTBALL 2018

It's pretty safe to say when started it can be completed just within a month. Those dates were accurate on the days I took those pics. The second go around when we had to replace the field it went a little slower because they had to remove the turf and they resurfaced areas of the field that had small depressions.  Those installers come from out of town and they want to get the job done faster than you do because they want to go home afterwards.

Just don't order a crane or any other equipment from the same people that UT did when they were trying to get Botch off of the Jumbotron.  #JustSaying

Well they're gonna need one to set the press box on the visitors side. Have to take down fences, and get onto the field to set this thing. And they already have it assembled in storage. There is a lot of prep work that should have already been done by the City. But the process is now being run by politicians so I don't expect much!

Sounds like the leadership of Oak Ridge loves to start at the door when painting the floor and end up in the corner.

Went to Gallo Loco last night for $ taco night. Huge rain storm while I was there and left while a moderate rain was happening. Drove the half block to Blankenship to see if any activity. Sprinkler system going full blast. Hope it's not too wet for work to begin this week.  Seems strange, but once again, I'm not in the business.

Who all plans on going swimming today at Blankenship Field ?

 Barney you got that right,  it's underwater and if you walked on it you're sink up to your butt!! They finally waited tooo long to fix it now. Oh Well guess we'll play on a cow pasture for real.

Lol.......

Wait .... we're making progress! There were 3 or 4 little pink flags on the field. Must be marking the sprinkler system for removal. Notice some sarcasm but it's positive sarcasm!

The above caption could be anywhere in the country where projects are being contracted. I will go by Blankenship tomorrow and report.
