Morning:
Gary and Lani arrived very early at the site with Ruff. Concrete crew members Wilson and Danny arrived shortly thereafter. About a half hour later, Tommy arrived and verified that the wall forms and the two center post boxes were correct and ready to be poured.
Pouring The Foundation Wall
The pour of the center posts footers and the foundation (stem) walls started when the pumping and concrete trucks arrived shortly after 8 AM. To facilitate rapid, accurate placement of the large and medium anchor bolts, Wilson had pre-marked their positions on the forms with horizontal nails spray painted in blue.
The pour was halted briefly when it was noticed that the brackets set over the top of the forms weren’t nailed down, causing some to pop off when the concrete was added. Tommy, Danny, and Randy quickly nailed all the brackets, while Wilson continued to place the anchor bolts.
The following video shows the foundation wall pour events
