Chad was here on Tuesday.

But who knew?

After tromping about the construction site, catching up on the progress made over the past several weeks, Chad was so muddy he just headed back to Cincinnati.

"The mud was up to my knees, so I didn't even come up to the office."

Chadwick, by the way, will be pleased to know his British friends will be able to watch "Building the Biggest: Coasters" on the Discovery Channel on March 29 at 10 pm. The next evening, the show will air in Canada.
