As I expected this week-end has been hopping with activity. Rusty and crew back filled and cut the inner beams as they worked from the east end towards the westwith the aid of his new "Bobcat"skid loader (this was its first job) on Friday.
Saturday started at 6:30 a.m. when I turned on the web cam only to view people moving around on the filled area. I could tell, once the sleep was rubbed from my eyes, it was Ed and Billy hard at work. So I got dressed and went over to see them. Joe arrive a little later and we all had to pause to discuss "things with the fellas" before Joe and I started laying in the various electrical and data lines. Mid-morning I went to Clifton for some supplies. On the way home I decided to buy lunch, so I picked-up a load of chicken w/ corn on the cob, and fried orka. When I got back Ed and Billy had left so we set-up our lunch under the old Post Oak and enjoyed the light breeze and witty conversation. Joe and I worked till almost 8 p.m. and called it a day
So with the exception of laying in the plastic sheeting (as a vapor barrier), and tieing off the rebar (the inner steel grid that reinforces the concrete); we are ready for the pouring of the concrete which is slated for Thursday. That is to say, all electrical
