well last week proved as exciting as the week prior. we found a boom truck and got the bressemer beams in place on wednesday. johnny parker came out and helped us tack weld the columns in place, we will give them a final weld this week. we also finished setting the anchor bolts as well as finishing the plumbing. we got the anchor bolt holes finished on monday and finished the plumbing on tuesday. we filled the plumbing trenches up to where the pipes come into the slab, from there we filled them half way to lay our water pipes in the same trench.

it was pretty exciting seeing the beams go up and it was quite a spectacle with the boom truck and johnny up on the scaffolding welding. we also filled in the french drains, so hopefully our drainage work is done.

this week we hope to rent the trencher on monday to dig the electrical and waterline trenches. we went to buy conduit last friday and should be ready to lay the pipe tuesday and we would like to grout under the columns and finish welding the beams in place. once that is done we can cover the trenches and start putting up form-boards for the slab.

here is another slide show of the week.
