Pumper Truck!

Big day at the house build today. We had to bring in a concrete pumper truck to fill the holes in the walls with concrete. It looks like this when it's all extended. 

Pumper Truck

It looks like this when it arrives.

Then it puts these big feet out, 4 of them and extends the pump. I apologize, I thought I had got a great video of it extending, but apparently I was just standing there with the camera pretending to video it. Since I forgot to hit the button. I guess I was a bit excited.

Then the cement truck comes and pours cement in the pumper truck. The truck had some problems getting in the driveway. But finally made it.

This is what it looks like when they fill the pumper truck.

They attached a hose to the truck and fill the walls!

And I do have video of the truck in action!

This is RJ and Nathan. RJ walked along the whole wall with the pump filling the holes and Nathan was   packing it in. First the fill it up halfway and everyone packs it in as fast as you can. To make sure it's all at the bottom and there are no gaps. This is by the way, really hard work, I helped, so I know.

This is what it looks like when it's all filled and leveled off.

As you can see RJ has hair most women would die for.

That pretty much takes most of the day. Tomorrow we can take the bracings off and start the wood framing. Here is a picture of the new window Curt cut into the wall this week.

And just because I know that you are all dying to see them.......here is a picture of my barn boots! I needed them today to work with the concrete.
