Concrete sawing and the Templeton Library

Lots of pictures today... not much text... this is Pete Clark sawing the slab.David and Shane stripped the forms off the slab while Terry Stephens (not shown with his backhoe) dug the hole so the water line could be repaired from the concrete truck crushing it during the slab pour.

I spoke of our neighbor, Sir John Templeton, several posts ago. His library is out our driveway and one mile to the west. This is a shot of the $33 million library almost jumping out of the ground as you approach the building. It's very out of character with the mountain and should be on the set of a horror movie.

The library sans even one book (Sir John gave up his American citizenship and lives in the Bahamas):
The statue in the center of the circular driveway is to glorify Sir John by Sir John. Note the tacky paint job. We don't expect to be invited over for tea.
There are 6 or 7 apartments in the library and they do have a magnificent view of the valley and Winchester, Tennessee.
