Second Concrete Pour in Walls

December 13, 2013 

with the stretch of cold freezing weather behind us it is time to pour the second three coarses of block .  So on friday at one thirty in the afternoon the crew start showing up.  we needed the roll around scaffolding moved along the wall while poring , so Ruth ,  Ann and Paul take on the challenge of moving the scaffolding doing the Hop scotch method.   The crew from flemmer concrete Rob, Floyd and Jay were up ontop of the scaffolding getting ready to pour from the pump truck hose then use the vibrator to make sure the concrete settles in good.  Marty followed the pour with a brush to clean off the top of the block to make the instulation of the next pour go easier. I did what ever needed doing from vibrating to nailing the plugs back in under the windows.   we ordered 8.5 yards of concrete and it worked out just fine. by two thirty we had the concrete in the walls then another hour of cleaning up slopped concrete on equipment and the crawl space floor.  No blow outs in the forms which is great and tommorrow its time to strip the forms off.  During the pour everyone worked together for the common goal and did great.
