Today was concrete pouring day. I decided to use a pump truck, as the cement truck's ramp would not reach some of the tubes. It was a cool thing to watch. The pump truck driver had a wireless remote to control the pump. He walked along with my friend Zach, who carried the (quite heavy) hose and filled all the tubes. The driver could turn the flow of cement on and off, increase and decrease the volume and pressure and even the consistency of the cement. Once everything was all set, it only took about an hour to fill all the tubes and the form, and screed (scrape) them and finish the job. Here are some pictures of the process and the finished product. Now the concrete is curing and will be ready to set the cabin on top when the kit arrives April 21st!

Wow. All I can say, is that I'm quite impressed. I can relate with you in that I haven't attempted a project of that magnatude, but I have to say I have a lot of respect for you for doing it. I wish I could have seen it first hand, but can't say I would have been much help. I'm sure it will be a fantastic getaway. It already looks like a work of art.
