I did a little bit of work right before it started snowing. I took a shovel and wheelbarrow and cleaned up a whopping two parking spaces and all the trash and overgrowth along the outside of the north fence. Also something to keep in mind: We've been told that the rennovation of the building will start to happen "when it gets warmer out", so it is entirely possible that the parking lot would already be cleaned up or be ripped up and replaced by April.
