Walls Poured

On Thursday I assembled a crew of six guys, and we poured the walls. It took 13 yards of concrete, delivered in two trucks. The pour took a little over two hours, then we had to finish the tops of the walls and set the anchor bolts.

Next up this week is pulling the braces and all the bucks and the splices over the seams, then install the membrane over the outer wall, and start the backfill.

Here's the fox blocks basically ready to go. Vertical rebar is in place, bucks are in place over all openings in the wall, and the bracing is all in place and adjusted.

Emptied the first 6 1/2 yards.

Resuming the pour where we left off. We got a bit over 3/4 around the building trying to get a 3' lift around the entire foundation. We had a fabricated box to give a bigger target for the chute versus the 6" wall opening.
