Day 4 The Midnight Oil Running Low

With more than 100 businesses represented on the site during the week, we were late into Day 4 and were in desperate need of framers. Although many framers gave their time, nobody gave like Mike Toner from Florida Carpentry of Brevard. Mike was still going strong late into the night and had been framing and supervising his personal crew of seven for over 30 hours. With the strong dedication of skilled labor and the many volunteers, the project is staying close to the deadlines.
The night included a tweet-up with around fifty busy tweeters sending live progress out to their tweeps. You can follow the project at #emhe.
This project could not happen without the many sponsors and local restaurants that have given from their heart and the community appreciates everything you do.
Eduardo, Michael and Paige (Designers from EM:HE) made a brief appearance from their busy schedule last night offering  a quick update.
There are still opportunities for skilled labor so if you are sitting home this week, why not reach out and support the community.
The public can go to the site to watch the construction. From 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. today through Friday, shuttles will take spectators from the Cocoa landfill off Adamson Road to the construction site.
"Extreme things happening today," show designer Eduardo Xol said. "I can't really talk about them, we're going to save them for the show, but if people come out here personally, they're going to get to see them first-hand."
