Seems like Morrisville is in the bottom the ninth with two out, bases empty, the bottom of the order coming up, and three back to back grand slams needed to tie.
Architect says new school project is in ‘great shape’
The district has used about half of the contingency funds it set aside to cover unforeseen costs.

The Bristol School District is “in the top of the ninth inning” with the construction of its new $33 million-plus school, the project’s chief architect said Thursday night.
Most of the work should be completed by June, added Angelo Rago, the district’s project representative, during the school board meeting.
The building at 450 Beaver St. will open in September and will serve approximately 1,100 students in pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade.
School board members asked the chief architect, Michael Minton, to address rumors that the project was way over budget. It’s not, the Vitetta architect said. The district has used only about half of the contingency funds it had set aside to cover unforeseen costs in the project, Minton said.
That amounts to about 2.5 percent of the project’s entire cost.
The contingency funds, as well as capital reserve funds are being used to cover costs relating to a soil remediation delay in 2007, change orders and contractor claims, officials said.

Darn - I was so sure that project was going to go way over budget, just like Morrisville's absolutely would have! Why oh why did I listen to all those self-proclaimed experts who had friends of third cousins three times removed friends who were architects?
Bottom of the ninth with two out, bases empty? Really?
I thought it was the bottom of the fifth, and the bags are loaded.
