Lane renovation update

Storey and I headed out at 7 a.m. this morning to get her to her student council meeting my 7:30. Work was already underway, picking up huge pieces on concrete from yesterdays destruction, and hauling them out to the street for removal. There was another wheel barrow waiting on the side for his turn to heave the heavy load.One small walking portion remains. I saw walking liberally as bike and motorcylcles also use this little strip to get down the lane. The red and yellow banner on the left is celebrating the government and their good care of the people.
The sidewalk in front of the lane where he is heading to an already oversized pile of concrete. Again, there is a banner over our lane proclaiming the support of the government. The turquoise awning over the gate door (used from 10 - 6:30 when the gates are closed) is new, and similar awnings have been placed over windows through out the lane. Bamboo mats are leaning against the wall. These are placed on the bamboo scaffolding where the workers stand. It goes up and comes down quickly, all these mobile parts. Wire is used to attach the bamboo pieces. That's it. Simple.
