any brand new activity there's always a learning curve so we anticipate that the i'm sure steve from webcor/obayashi can speak to this more if you like but we anticipate that curve to peak early and consistently improve from the first time we pored the foundation slab there's been significant improvement in the overall durations so we're anticipating that to occur as well but primarily taking advantage of the days we didn't count which are the weekends to try to catch up if need be. >> thank you. >> any other questions? seeing none. >> thank you steve and now we have dennis presenting our project labor agreement quarterly report. >> thank you maria happy to report on the project labor report starting with the trade package update and progress to date for students veterans and adults and the reporting trends as i wrap up the report starting off with the administration and labor we had number 9 of our joint administrative committees held on february 20th the agenda is construction progress and apprentice programs and veterans and we also talked about how there's no work stoppages and is no labor incid
