Concrete Flat Work…Day 1

I stopped by on Sunday and found Paul (Winters) using these funny devices  injecting water into the back-filled section just inside the garage foundation walls. The water causes the compacted soils to loosen up…and helps facilitate an even more compacted base. The little wooden stakes are the first signs work being done as Matt prepares for the pouring of the concrete slab. They will help to establish the floor heights and anchor parts of the reinforcing rod supports.

The guys are running a “jumper” around the inside of the garage wall foundation as they compact the base. I was hoping to get some video of this operation but just missed it!
