Due to the amount snow received at the project site the major activites noted below have been cancelled.  The project site will have a laborer onsite performing some snow and water clean-up to support the continuation of work activities on Monday.  The laborer will be utilizing a shop-vacuum at times, shovel and squeegee.   

This revised Saturday work schedule has been communicated and coordinated with both the Marblehead Building Department & Police Department.

The project will be working on the site this Saturday 10/31/20.  Activities will consist of installation of the roofing system as well as waterproofing activities on the exterior walls of the building.  The work crew will be utilizing man-lifts and power tools (drills and saws) to support the work activities through out the day.  These are both weather sensitive activities thus the project is utilizing the favorable weather scheduled for Saturday to progress both of these activities.  

The allowable work hours for Saturday is 8AM – 5PM.  

This Saturday work schedule has been communicated and coordinated with both the Marblehead Building Department & Police Department.
