Much of our large order of lumber was delivered to the schoolyard. Brian and Jim move plywood to the school library to protect it from rain and theft. |
The municipality lent us their cement mixer at no cost. It was the right
tool for the job. We did discover that no gravel had been delivered to us; all of the burlap bags contained sand only. It was quite a scramble to come up with enough gravel but God is good and sufficient gravel was found. |
Brian moves around concrete in the form for the utility room pad. |
Jim and Larry add another load of concrete to the foundation. |
Rod adds more sand to the mix. |
Twenty 20' PVC pipes were delivered. From these will be made the posts that support the apartments. |
Joy digs a large hole for the four center columns. (Tracey's working on her own in the background.) |
Rod's on the level as he marks the PVC pipes for trimming to height. |
Jim fills in around the posts with dirt. |
