Fifth Day of Shotcrete

The crew took Sunday off for a much needed break. The blower was turned off over the weekend and will not be used again. The airlock was removed, making entering and exiting the dome much easier.

Rick standing in the doorway where the airlock used to be. This will be the location of my front door.

Andrew cut open the doorways for more ventilation. This opening will be french doors in the kitchen.

There will also be a door on the second floor for the kids.

The scaffolding's motor was replaced and worked well, as did the pump. The crew was able to spray on 8 yards from the concrete trucks and make a bunch of their own batches in the Bobcat mixer.

Brian and Roger making a batch. The Bobcat will make a 1/3 of a yard of shotcrete.

The outside guys: Brian and Roger.

The inside guys: Rick, Andrew, and Bruce.

My gorgeous husband, Andrew, in all his safety gear, so he won't get shotcrete in his eyes again.

That looks like some hard work. Hope it isn't too cold there yet.

Hey Laurie,
Stephen and I are at my parents house right now. We were wondering if we could come out to visit while we are here. I am not sure how long we will be here. If ya'll are busy or something that is fine. I just thought I would ask.
