After the Pour

After a hurry, hurry, hurry, and then waiting for the concrete to dry…this is what we wanted this part of the observatory that holds the pier to look like.

There’s a little over a yard of concrete in the sonotube with some wire some re-bar and a few drops of sweat.

The next step is to build forms for the surrounding slab that will support the observatory walls.   More to come………………….

Today we pour!

In about four hours we will be busy bees pouring concrete in a big hole for the pier for our observatory.

I’m hoping the day remains sunny… ….now off to stock up on beverages!

Wish us luck!
