The Barn Project Continues

Jun23-Formwork.jpgAs covered in my last post, Richard raised our barn onto a row of cinder blocks to allow him to pour a new concrete floor thick enough for structural integrity. The old floor had a huge slant downward from east to west, but the good news is, with a laser leveler to check his measurements, he confirmed he can pour to the top of the cinder block row on the west side and the minimum four inches on the east, and only be an inch off of level. That’s a huge relief for him, after all that work. Now he’s just finished two intense days in the blazing sun to get ready for the concrete pour, with lots more still to do next weekend. I’ve a number of photos over the past month to catch up on, and I’ve just put in a 12 hour day in the garden myself (another post on that coming soon) so here’s a gallery, pics only. If you want to know more, please use the Comments to ask.
