We ended week 1 with the footings poured.
Week 2 started with rain. Lots of rain. Thursday night brought down about 5". I didn't make it out on Friday, but John spent most of the day removing water from the shop....again. The rain brought down dirt onto some of the footings, while other areas had standing water.
As depressing as that sounds, it was incredible how quickly they dug out, cleared the water and set the forms for some of the walls. So Friday remained a productive day.
On Saturday we escaped for the weekend and road the train in Boone with the Forristall family. Great break away and the kids had a great time!
Back on Monday all the forms got set and ready for concrete. Justin Schraeder came with a backhoe and dug out around the shop building. They will be spraying tar around the foundation of the building and adding more tiling.
On Tuesday we met out at the farm with Trevor to survey the progress.
On Wednesday they poured concrete for the walls. Within three hours it was all poured.
At the close of week 2 the forms were removed and the job site is picked up. Iowa Walls did a fantastic job and worked through some muddy days. We really appreciate the progress.
