Jobsite Visit #7
February 4,
we finally filled the blocks to the top with concrete. The house might not
look any stronger when viewing it from the internet but we think it looks
stronger. The concrete trucks delivered 4000 psi
concrete with pea gravel. The pea gravel was necessary to make
sure the concrete could flow into all the
voids.
It might look like we were
walking on the top of the blocks, but I am pretty certain we were standing
on scaffolding. From left to right on the picture below, Doug is carrying
buckets of concrete to top off the areas that need a little more concrete.
Derek's wife, Rhonda, is smoothing the top of the concrete and setting bolts
that will be used to put the roof on. Patrick, the president of Golden
Roc, is using a concrete vibrator to make sure the concrete flows into all the
voids. To the right, Derek, who has personally set
and leveled every block on the house with the help of Rhonda and Doug,
is filling the voids with concrete.
This is the view from the great room to the second
floor landing.
The
only block work left is putting in the window stools, ledges,
and watermark. The picture below is of a window stool. The two
holes will be covered up by the window frame.
This is a picture of the window
ledge. Again, the gray areas are all covered up by the window
frame.
