Construction in the area and my apartment building

 This is the space in front, on the north side, of my condo complex. There is major work going on but no one seems to know what they are doing. The picture was taken from our parking garage.

This is the view to the right of the above picture. They are moving around huge piles of dirt and concrete chunks.

 This is the reconstruction of the river bank. The picture was taken from the bridge to Yaotome.

 This is a second construction project along the river. You can just see it in the picture from the bridge.

 This is the entrance to my building. It was the only part of our building damaged in the tremors. A contract has been signed to do the repair work but the company is having trouble finding workmen and supplies.

 These are the stairs leading up to my apartment. You can see the door at the top of the stairs. At each landing there are two apartments. Straight ahead is the door to the elevator, which we seldom use.
