Days: Three, Four, Five

Day Three:

One layer of three walls were set in their places, glued
together and to the footing, holes for the re-bar were drilled
as they went. I was running to the store twice this day for
the adhesives to glue the blocks, bought two stores Menards
and Lowes out of the stuff. Also I picked up two of the three
pallets of Roofing shingles.

Day Four:

The rest of the first row of blocks were layed, drilled, and
all the re-bar epoxyed into place. I went shopping again, for
more adhesives, picked up the last pallet of shingles, and
picked up 300' of three inch field tile and a sock to put it in,
to place around the footing.

Day Five:

The second row of blocks were layed by noon,
the "D-man" had a job, that was to shake the cans of
adhesive, and attatch the tube to them and hand them
to the guys.

The cement truck came and poured 6.25 cubic feet of cement
with super-plastisizer added to help the cement fill all the
voids in the horizontal channels.

There were no blowouts, it was a trick to get the cement
into the rebared holes while walking in a 6"wide trench.
But when all was said and done, it all worked out just fine.

A coating of wall sealant was applied to the blocks exterior,
and the 3" tile was layed all around the perimeter.

Now we wait until Tuesday to see anything else done,
we will however clean up the work site.



Have a Happy Labor-Day Weekend.
