Concrete Pour

Yet another concrete truck arrived at our house today. When the block is being laid some of the concrete blocks have to be chipped so the County inspector can see that the steel rods go up through the walls. Then, the holes are blocked with pieces of plywood and concrete is poured down through the walls. 







As the concrete begins to harden metal stakes are pushed into the drying concrete along the 
top wall. The trusses will be attached to the stakes. The workers also brush extra concrete off of the walls. 

A short time later the lumber company delivered a stack of lumber and sheathing
for the roof. I wondered how he was going to get those long pieces of lumber 
though our gate; no problem - just pick it up and carry it above the fence!
