Construction Photos II

Blake helps me clean off the freshly poured lower floor of the garage.


These are shots of the garage forming. The garage was done in 3 pours that totaled around 45 yards of concrete. The 1st pour was the helical pier caps. The 2nd pour was the lower floor with the lower grade beams. The 3rd pour was the upper floor, upper grade beams and 14 - 1 foot sq. concrete post that hold up the 2nd floor. The last pour was the largest pour at around 22 yards.



In the 2nd photo you can see the post forms and the supports that will hold the upper floor forms. #5 bar dowls stick through the post forms and will tie into the floor grade beams.


In the 3rd photo we are almost ready to start tying tons of #4 and #5 bar.



Zach, Connie and I did all the pours except the last pour we hired one guy and Zach recruited 2 friends to help. Connie and I did all the finish work on the pours.
