It was infrastructure day at the all-new Shipwreck Cove at Vala’s Pumpkin Patch. When I arrived on site at 7:00 am, the concrete crew were already pouring the three large concrete pads, which will be the landing points for the three largest features. The concrete truck was done within half an hour. While that crew made the concrete smooth and flat, we had a meeting with the various trade bosses to determine the day’s plan of attack. I then measured out the golfing holes and light posts and drove in colour-coded pegs to show where things went. The electrician tested to ensure we wouldn’t discover hidden wires or pipes underground before the post hole auger and trencher were set in motion, making sure everything was going to work as planned. The light posts were then set into the augered holes before quitting time. Tomorrow is going to be every bit as busy as we use a giant crane to place the larger features. Then we’ll meticulously shape the ground to prep it for the concrete putting green surfaces, which Vala’s concrete contractor will pour over the next two weeks. By the end of tomorrow’s work day, the formerly empty field will look a whole lot more like a mini golf course. Stay tuned…
