Pier Progress






























These pictures were taken Friday, January 12. The crew is really working to get the piers finished before the bad weather. Friday was shirtsleeve weather. Today, Tuesday, January 16, is definitely not! In picture one you can see the pier drilling rig in the background. In picture two you can see the rebar column before it is inserted into the partially filled pier and in picture three they are putting in the rebar and more cement. Picture four shows the crew working to finish off the job. It is doubtful that any work is being done today. Construction can be very weather dependent!
