Jim did some shop and clean up work this morning, including getting things all set up for our last concrete work of the year - pouring the post for the package drop box. This afternoon, we got to work - getting the pumpkin all hooked up to the Bobcat...
Starting to make concrete...
Pouring it into the box...
Jim figured he would only need 3 bags, but since we had to make it up on top of the hill and carry it down to the bottom of the driveway, he erred on the side of caution and used 4 bags.
Dumping out the second batch...
Cleaning up the pumpkin...
Checking the fit of the upper rebar frame into the lower rebar...
They mate together just the way he wanted...
Jim had brought down the bucket filled with the generator and other tools. Then he started filling up the tube with shovelfuls of concrete...
Vibrating the concrete...
Putting the upper frame in...
One last vibrate...
Smoothing the top a bit...
Then it was time to make trips up and down the hill, bringing the bucket of tools and equipment up first, then going back down to get the concrete box and those tools. He brought the box with the extra concrete up and cleaned it out on the upper driveway...
Then it was cleanup time and time to put all the tools and equipment away.
Then he went back down to the post, took off the wood spacers, did a bit more smoothing of the top...
He draped plastic over the top because there is some rain in the forecast...
I didn't get a picture but the sealer on the concrete floor of the lean to came out great!
