last week we had to let that road cure

65
00:03:16,519 --> 00:03:19,120

67
00:03:21,239 --> 00:03:22,280
of a few things that they're going to

68
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,799

69
00:03:23,799 --> 00:03:26,920

Orchard Street I'm not sure if that has

73
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,680
a name but that was falling apart and

74
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,599
not attached to anything so a structural

75
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:40,280

be replac we replace that with black uh

77
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,480

78
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,400
