The Last Truck

Today we are pouring concrete. When the day is done the walls will be finished and that will be the last of the concrete trucks.

Here you see the cement truck with the pumper behind. The pumper can lift the concrete and pump it to the far corners of the building.


The walls were braced and adjusted for straightness.

Dave works on the bracing ..............................................

Kent does the same on the south wall.

Looking south from the end of the hall ....................... everything looks good.

Dave handled the pipe and did an excellent job; matter of fact all the guys worked hard to get everything done properly.

From the cat-walk we can see everything.

The white stuff is spray foam the crew used to fill all the small openings between cut blocks.

Dave works the pipe, the pump driver operates the controls to move the boom and adjust the flow of concrete.
Thanks everyone for hanging in there until the last load was delivered and unloaded.

Next week we start the roof........................ YEA!!!!
