Did a little work on the wheel, but the big story was the concrete pour up the hill for the wheel's posts. The concrete company was a little if-y about sending a truck up the thin road to the pour spot, so we improvised.
First, we pour the mud into buckets on the Takeuchi.
Next, Jim takes the buckets up the hill (I have seen him take much larger vehicles up the road, but I digress...)
Next, The buckets are loaded onto the big fork truck which we have the worker platform on.
We extend the forks...
...to the form...
...which is just out of reach. So we got this bearded guy, who should remember to lift with his legs more, to pass the buckets over to the column form.
Pour in the mud.
Vibrate it down, then repeat.
While we were at it, we poured the stairs at the beginning of the yard wall. Remember those?
We were all gearing up for the pour so it didn't end up being too bad. Teamwork really saved us on this one. Thanks to Jon and Carol for the documentation.
