Pouring the walls

On September 22 the concrete truck and pumper truck showed up at 8 am and we began pouring our walls. We poured two feet at a time with 30 minute breaks to prevent our forms from blowing out. This was hard work! The hose was very heavy, it took three of us to handle it!

At the top of the wall we set our j-bolts, all thread (which will hold our building onto the concrete) and pressure treated ledger boards. When everything was set we hand troweled the top to make a smooth place for our sill plates to sit.

Below is a time lapse video of building the scaffolding and pouring the walls.
