Moving Skids

Yesterday we had to move the skids of Durisol Blocks into the interior of the foundation. Since it was impossible for my "bobcat" to get inside we rented the Rona Boom truck to lift the skids into place.

I brought the skids to the truck and Jim lifted them into place.

While that was being done the crew began stacking the blocks to build the outside walls.

These blocks are dry stacked and cement is poured down inside them.

TJ bends some re-bar at the front door location.

We will use over 600 blocks to build the walls. Each block weighs 53 lbs. Let's see 53x600= 31,800 lbs. WOW! No wonder these guys have great biceps; that's over 15 tons of blocks they will lift over the next 8 days. I think I'll stick with the "bobcat"

Of course while we were busy building ....................  the hens were busy laying.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.
