Dirt is Flying!

When the work begins, the work really begins!  Things are happening quickly at the new home of Kolar Chevrolet on Arrowhead Road.  Large machinery, piles of dirt, and a great deal of transformation.  Already, the area has become unrecognizeable. 

Where long time storage building once stood and employee vehicles were parked is now a hub of activity and the smell of fresh dirt.  Much of the current work is to make parking areas for the employees while the project is underway. 

The lot on the westerly most section of the site is being lowered to sub grade in some areas as much as 7 feet.  A couple feet of class 5 will eventually raise it back up to final grade.



As the dirt from these strips is removed into the large off road dump trucks, they haul it to the east side of the site to build up the east side to grade.  You can see now on the very east side the final grade of the display area starting to be at final grade. 


 
The lower valley area behind Sherwin Williams and Batteries Plus is blocked off with the silt fence and there will be some action going on in there from time to time. 




So things are really happening.  With cooperation from the weather the site could be balanced and graded to allow for showroom footings within a couple of weeks!  Wow, things are moving fast from here!

Take a drive by and check out the action and stay tuned for more information!
