back in the saddle again. some of you may know that we had massive rains this last week. enough where the wash on my property a ways behind the shop was flowing really fast and was 1-2 feet deep and 50 feet wide. it caved in some of the sides of the footings and made it settle in the bottom. i dug a trench to let water out and that helped alot.

but, in desert style, it has mostly dried up already.

a finish grader came and rescraped the pad, then smoothed out 6 massive trucks of ABC rock 4" deep. he used a laser level and got it amazingly flat. the concrete guys took the rebar out of the footings and they will have to redid them out and then put the rebar back in. they also have to do some more forming for the 6" high curb that will go all around the perimeter. that way the walls will not sit on the floor, they will be up 6 inches on the curb. just something my builder likes to do.

tomorrow all the remainder forming is supposed to happen, then pretreat for termites and then another county inspection. hopefully now, the pour will be early to mide next week.

hope to pick up the pace after that.
