Concrete is poured and screeded into the monolothic slab and footings. (March 30, 2005)




A grout pump (on a small trailer behind the white truck) is used so that concrete can be poured
from a hose instead of a boom, preventing damage to trees which have been left close to the site.




Alex Reynolds applies a curing compound to the freshly poured concrete to slow evaporation,
allowing the newly poured slab to cure slowly and form a stronger finished product.
