Third and Fourth Days of Shotcrete

The concrete truck arrived with 4 yards. The crew started spraying and then the pump started acting up. Over the course of many long hours, they were able to spray about 3 yards before the pump called it quits. The crew had made a form to pour a pad for Andrew's saw mill, just in case the concrete had to be used. With the pump failing and concrete still left in the truck, Brian poured the pad.

Brian finished the pad. He even made the corners smooth so the kids could decorate it. Notice the turkey tracks to the left of Brian in the concrete.

The next day, Andrew and Roger continued to work on the pump. Andrew replaced the peristaltic hose and hoped that would fix the problem.
