Drilling and Pouring


















We're officially a construction site as we have a construction sign. Passersby won't have to wonder what is going on!
Finally this week the weather has been nice and much work has been done on getting the piers drilled and the cement poured. As the piers are drilled, a soil test is performed to make sure that the piers have been drilled deep enough. Then the cement is poured into the hole that has been drilled and the reinforcing bars put in. It was anticipated that it would take four days to drill the 125+ piers. Let's hope the weather holds for them to finish.
