September 14th. Roughly 3 P.M. at Old Colchester Road. Looks like they've already poured the right half.

 

 

 

Concrete is pouring out from the large black tube. They used two cement trucks worth while I watched.

 

 

 

 

 

That frame at the center is attached to a board the width of the pour. It's used to make things uniformly flat.

 

Here you can see the cement pouring out of the black tube.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They ended up the pour spreading cement at the far left, but not covering all of the rebar.

 

 

 

The brought the cement up to the first (lower) marker bar at the left.

 

.

 

Smoothing the cement at the junction of the right and left main pours.

 

Ditto at the left.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

About done for the day.

September 15th. About 2:00 P.M.; cutting short lengths on ends of threaded bars.

 

Fireworks show.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lots of stuff laid out on the main floor. No idea what it's all for.

 

Taller rebar going in on the left side.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A brief stop at Norton's Pond. Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodius).
