Module placement plan

Derba and Heinlein and I met with the module setting representative from MSI, and the crane operator (Pick Construction) last Wednesday, to figure out how to get the modules in place. There are 4 modules: 2 are 44' long and 14' wide, and 2 are 47' long and 12' wide. Tight fit! Fortunately our street is 34' wide, so we can successfully back them down our driveway.

The 75-ton crane is almost 40' long, and will go in the front yard. To get there, it needs to drive over the nice new wall and garden we built a couple years ago (when we thought the equipment would go in the back yard). So we need to stage a perennial rescue mission, particularly for the stewartia and azaleas, and the only rose I've successfully grown.

But the good news is that the modules can definitely be placed successfully, and all 4 can be placed in one day.
