Nov. 4, 2010 Big Day! 16000 sq. ft. of Concrete!

This was the big day to pour concrete.  Praise the Lord for sunny dry weather and 4 different subcontractors on the job site.  10 people from the concrete plant, 12 from the concrete finishing company, 1 person representing our concrete contractor, 1 person running the pump truck, and Keith, Bill, Cal and 2 other employees from Dean Ryan Homes.  29 people working to make this a safe successful pour.  Again, we thank God that this could happen before the ground freezes. 
First cement truck arrives; 6:30am

This machine is called a Laser Screed.  It automatically levels the concrete using laser electronics.


Laser Screed.  You can see the laser tripod in the background.

The head of the laser screed pulls and vibrates the concrete to smooth.

More onlookers on this sunny day.

Last of 23 trucks!

Almost finished pouring!
