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!
This is moving right along. Ingenious, hoist it up!
ReplyDeleteI guess if you deliver large loads of lumber to different sorts of houses and businesses....you know all of the ropes!
DeleteYou've probably seen videos of dogs trying to take a long stick through a gate and having a hard time... that's the first thing I thought of. :) I used to drive a forklift. Even had my little forklift license. Those days are long past.
ReplyDeleteWow it is really coming along!
