Our construction project is moving along although there was a disturbing occurrence this week. When they arrived for work on Thursday morning, the construction managers discovered that there had been a break-in, and thousands of dollars worth of tools were taken.  The Honolulu Police Department as well as the military police are investigating, and it is our hope that they will be able to recover these tools.

Meanwhile, work continues on the project.  Workers poured concrete again this week, and there is a pad for the custodians' room, and all of the stem walls for the administration building appear to be done.  If you've never seen this huge machine pouring concrete, it is amazing!  I cannot imagine how that thick concrete can go from the truck, and up that distance, until it comes down to be poured into the foundations.

These photos show the custodians' room prior to and after the cement pour.

                   

Here's how the administration building is progressing.  I wonder why they smooth out part of the cement but not most of it.  (Look closely at the photo on the right.)

              

Finally, work resumes on digging trenches for the underground wires including new electrical lines for our new buildings.  This is the area in front of F-building.
