Construction Update #7

When it rains, it pours.

Wednesday greeted us with lightning and thunder showers.

Plumber was there at ohsixthirty as promised and managed to fit his openings around the electricians.

Eric and crew finished blocking out this and that.

Special inspector showed up and did his thing, examining rebar, measuring slump taking core samples, etc.

Boom truck was the largest this side of the pass. Reached within 5’ of the far corner. Barely.

Concrete trucks came and cam, until seven had left us with 65 cy of foundation. Concrete is cheap. But all the additives, and delivery and surcharges and so on. Cost about $7,000.

Eric’s crew left. Eric stayed behind for dinner out with the wives. Tomorrow some more prep work for the slab. And I get to figure out the backfill and water proofing and radiant heat on my own.

All in all, a very productive day at the job site.
