Basement Floor…The pour

The Sletten crew is hard at work this morning pouring the basement floor. They constructed a wooden chute to help get concrete into the basement and by 7:30 this morning were well into the pouring. The first photo shows the Marshall Concrete cement mixer backed up to the chute delivering mud to the basement.

The next photo shows Matt on the float, Jim working the area around the water meter and sewer main, and Chuck on the wheelbarrow delivering concrete.

The video below shows the action in the basement nicely. As you will see there is very little talking and a lot of activity. It seems prudent to just stay out of their way while the concrete is still wet!

I stopped by at noon today to have a look at the basement floor. Matt was there waiting for the cement to harden enough to trowel (the air temperature in the basement is still only 47 degrees). They plan to pour the second half of the floor tomorrow morning.
