This morning Pearl and I climbed out of bed at the crack of dawn. We were up and on our way to White Salmon in time to watch the concrete being poured. By the time we arrived, the site was staged with the pump and hoses. The plumber was also here to make sure the forms were in place for the water line to enter the structure. The concrete truck was expected to roll in at any minute.
It took a little over 8 yards of concrete to fill the forms. One truck was drained and a second came with the remaining material to finish the pour. It took less than an hour to fill the forms. Once the forms were filled, Zach, Chris and Alan began tapping the concrete down into the forms and leveling off the tops.
The last item was placing the lag bolts in the concrete for the cill plates. Once they were finished, I think the team was on their way to nap!
