Beginning of this month they had just finished clearing large piles of brush with a trackhoe. Neat as a pin. They also had all their stone suitably arranged in piles according to aggregrate size with the correct ratios or color that are ubiquitous. They also had excavated a foundation in a ledge and had a nice big pile of topsoil stockpiled. It really is amazing watching those guys use heavy equipment. I watched one day as the trackhoe operator held open the tailgate of a very large dump truck which wouldn't close while another worker scraped out the offending debris. Man out of the way he pushed the gate shut and the truck drove off. Makes me miss my Tonkas.

Drove by the site last Thursday. Lots of heavy equipment. Big pipes and junction boxes with pond bay spray painted on them spread around. Three or four containers were set up as workshops with a lot of wood work going on. There is a perhaps new building with extensive work going on closest to South Shore Road. Maybe a sales/property office?
We learned that our villa was to be taken over by a Pond Bay project manager when we left.
