Rusty was the first on the site about 6:30 AM this morning, but I had awaken at 'bout 5 AM by the incessant barking of Fawn baby girl, our youngest dog. I got dressed, went outside, and started picking up the work area. Within a few minutes the rest of the crew started arriving. Along with the crew was a new worker with a piece of equipment - a large "Case" front end loader. The gang started finishing the outer form and tieing the rebar. It was a great morning for them since the weather was very overcast. while the work on the forms was being finished, one of the crew members started building a ramp from the sand. The ramp was to be used to elavate the loader so the bucket would clear the forms as it dumped load after load onto the top of the structure. The cement trucks arrived about 1:00 PM. It backed into the site of the storm structure and started pouring cement into the bucket. Then the machine went up the sand ramp and dumped the cement into the top of the structure. Opa & Chris on the roof worked at pulling the cement out of the bucket. The second truck topped everything off with 17 yards of cements going into the structure. Chris troweled the top smooth while the rest worked at cleaning up the site. Everyone was gone by 3:30PM. Now all we have to do is make that lasting impression and wait till Monday when Rusty will come back and take down the outer forms. For now, it looks like a huge wooden crate sitting on top of our new slab.
