Pump Station Update

The project has been moving right along and we now have walls surrounding the structure. At some point our roof trusses will arrive and those will be attached and the roof put on. When that is complete the next step is to align the station to mate up with our existing pipes. Because we asked for a larger gallons per minute pump station we need to increase our out going pipe size from 10 inch to 12 inch. This will accommodate any future irrigation additions in the future. 

The snow is melting but much slower than anticipated, this has a lot to do with the recent cold temperature well below 32 degrees causing the ice to become frozen solid with very little air mixed in. With the rain expected today the course is going to be a swamp fest and will need some time to dry out. We are hopeful that the bunker project will pick back up again next week. Thursday we had a sod truck delivered and the staff is busy clearing off the snow around some of the bunkers and placing either tall fescue or bent grass in the required areas. Another group is prepping the shop floor for a coat of paint today.
