Two rigs going today again. They have about 12 wells to go until all the tests are in to see if they need more wells because they are not as deep as they first anticipated. They are hitting granite at about 145 feet and will not try to drill that. They would rather do extra wells than try to go deeper. They can probably drill the first 140 feet in an hour and a half and then several hours to get a few feet into the granite.
Xcel is here putting in gas line as you can see. They went from the road across the south side of the building up along the east side to the corner you see them digging in.
Rafter work proceeds as you can see from the cam shots. ... As I write they have about 2 to go toward Reim Hall. Looking good.
Cement job went well yesterday and they had to work late to get it done. Xcel put in some large lamps for that pour. I don't know if that was for just light or heat also.
