Mississippi Rising. On hold

Well, the daily progress came to a screeching halt last Friday when the Mississippi River swelled just above non-risky levels. The crew was a little less than a day away from having the site ready for concrete pour when the word came from the Levee Police. Not only did they need to stop working on the site prep, but they had to refill all of the area that they had excavated.

Scary stuff. 

So, looks like it will be several weeks before the river lowers back to workable height... maybe even into July. We are keeping our fingers crossed.
