DKR Update Please

[Stuck_At_Work]

I've gone out of my way a couple times to take pictures of DKR for Hornfans so I don't feel too guilty asking for someone to go out and take some pictures. I've been traveling and/or 'stuck at work'....

I'm particularly interested in the progress on the outside. I would image the brickwork is pretty close to being done by now.

We have had some great shots of the interior lately, but I too am very curious about the outside progress.

I know it's hot and takes a lot of time and effort, but rest assured the updates are much appreciated.

Also, on another thread someone said there was an electrical fire. Any news on this. I looked on the Statesman site, but could not find any articles. True or not? Anyone?

I see it everyday, all day. They are most of the way up to the top with the brick work but not quite there yet. They are a bit higher than the glass window sections. They have laid out the white stone borders that were sort of hanging in place for a week or so.

The circular stairs are getting a lot of attention this week and progress made on their exterior as well.

A new structure is going up north of the NW corner but I don't know what it is. It is rectangular or square.

The only work done at night is touch up work and mostly four guys doing cable burying or something like that in the roadway/front of the north section. There is not "around the clock" work as suggested by somebody earlier. Sure, there is work but not sig. work like they do during the day as in they are not on the structure but on the ground. Last night as an exception there were four or five guys doing something on the 3rd floor of it about an hour after dark, then they left.

Sorry this is not an actual picture but maybe it will help. There is a girl on a road bike that takes pictures pretty often but it seems only from the gates and over the fence, not inside. I don't know if she posts here or not but if so, please post your exterior shots to calm the savage beasts.

Yeah, where the heck are the updates?

I feel I'm entitled to ask for these as well...

Did they ever put in that one window pane that wasn't put in place at the top of the stadium in the new entryway? It always annoyed me seeing pictures with that one pane out of place.

I too would love an update.

Oh to hell with the stadium

I finally got a chance to drive by late last night. Campus looked like a ghost town... no pedestrians in site. Unfortunately it was way too dark to take pictures. Anywho... the crew was still working at 11 at night. Most of the progress must be on the inside because the outside doesn't look significantly different than our last updates.

vtaenz, I looked today and I think that the missing window you spoke of is in place. But there are a couple of small corner ones not in yet but I think they pass things through that gap. I saw them passing some Gatorade or something!

The night work is on the road area and digging that they cannot do during the day. They have blocked off Robert Dedman from about the Police station to the corner of 23rd Street (at the top of the hill).

There is a lot of digging and tearing up concrete in what was once the uphill, Eastbound part of 23rd. The window putter inner guys worked later the last two nights than they usually do. I wonder if rain showers slowed them down a bit and they just stayed to keep a schedule.

Thanks l00p. Now that makes sense if they use it to pass stuff through, now I understand why they would leave one out of place.

Awesome, thanks H.E. and others. Makes sense.
