These images were taken at 3:00 pm on Friday 06/09/06. Apparently, the construction crew had called it a week.

Things seem to be progressing. New England had been getting heavy rain for a week prior to these images (sound familiar?). Note that the water table was about 12 inches below the surface of the field. No wonder the field turned to mush when it rained.

I'll try to have more coverage of the installation later in the summer.

There is a UMass article and more images here .
