Lots going on today and the days to come. Dusty came with his concrete pumping machine. We had to have the top cap and columns pumped because of the height. Doing it by hand would have been a nightmare.You can see the steel rebar in the trough at the top where the guys are pumping. This rebar encircles the foundation as well as it ties to vertical rebar down the wall every 2'.
A concrete truck is feeding the pumping machine which in turn feeds the hose attached to the 'J' handle.
The pumping took about 2 hours but saved us a great deal of time and muscle.
The next and last pour will be the slab for the garage floor. Maurice will be back on Wednesday or Thursday to finish that part.
Floor trusses are being delivered in the morning. We'll start framing the first floor floor right away.
Today was a big day for another reason. I got out of the campground and into my new digs (I'll send photos tomorrow). It was kind of sad in a way. I'd been at the New River State Park since August 18th. You can do the math.I'm so glad to be in a place where I can stretch, walk around, etc.
More coming,

The top cap ties everything together.
