Through my third out of four days, I was given the opportunity to leave the office space and try my hand in the field for the full experience. I was given my own hard hat and my own fluorescent yellow vest and trudged out into the dust and sand and dirt in my leather work boots, and after having a two-hour long session about the rules and regulations when in construction and doing construction work, we got in the truck and headed out to one of their project sites. Throughout the day, I got to visit a few of the sites that are currently in progress, as well as the plans for the projects as well as projected costs and lifespans. I got to visit their current site at Mills Park, where they are planning on building a new baseball field and a new section to the greenway that they have there. Unfortunately, there were regulations voided at that site, so for now, that project is being put on hold, and may not be finished for a while. It was another early start this morning, but not as early as I have to arrive for work tomorrow. Excited to see what is in store for me for my last day with SEPI.
