Preparations for Pour the Floor Day!

Here is some of what was going on this past month. They built the wood frame for the area where the floor is to be poured. Those boards are supported by poles underneath. The forest of poles supporting things. Then they lay the roofing bricks on the boards like this and the re bar goes in between the bricks. Then the cement is poured over the entire thing. Here's what it looks like down below. A forest of poles. These will stay there for about a month after the floor is poured to support the floor while it dries and hardens. Here are the stairs being made too. The latest look at the roof today. Notice the tubing where the electricity and plumbing will go later. The cans the men will use tomorrow to haul cement up to the roof on ladders! Tomorrow is the big day - Pour the Floor Day!!
