still busting forms

July 19, 2009

I thought i was pretty smart when i put all those pipes and rebar hanging out of the cement. Now I'm not feeling so smart. It sure makes it hard to get the boards off but it's worth it.

busting forms

July 16, 2009

"Usully taking things apart is easier than putting them together." That's what my help said today as he was trying to work the pinch bar. My well driller said "Those boys ar'nt lazy, they were just born tired." All in all everybody did a good job. We're no where near finished.

These last couple of days rod busting the tempature has been over 100. I'm almost done with the rebar in the beams. All the  sweating is good for detoxing.
