On yet another bitterly cold morning, the crew was hard at work on the roof of the substation. Since it's a little above my vantage point, i can't provide any pictures of the actual process of applying the roofing material, but the steady hum of a roofing kettle provided the soundtrack for today's task. I hope that the finished product will include a green roof, something with some nice, environmentally friendly plants to remind us of the trees that were here originally.

| A pipeline was put in place to bring the hot tar up to the roof. |

| If the temperature had been just a little warmer, i might have been able to convince myself to walk to the corner to get a better idea of what the large blocks of building materials on the flatbed were. But i confess that i had a very hard time even forcing myself to step outside the door for the few seconds needed to take these pictures. |
