The Pour
BLOW OUT!!! This is the only one. I forgot to put the bottom brace back into this door opening on the porch and the form pushed out from the bottom. Lost a couple shovel fulls of concrete. We were actually pouring the house walls, but the mixture made its way to the attached porch and found the missing brace. If the Ready Mix driver hadn't seen it, nobody would have because we were all busy pouring inside.
Well, that's it. 13 yards of concrete in about 3 hours. I only took two pictures. I don't know if anybody else took any pictures.
It looks the same as before there was concrete in the forms.
The moisture seeping out is partly the heavy rain from the night before and partly the excess water from the concrete. I also hosed off the top blocks because I will be stacking another layer and didn't want rough concrete between the two layers of blocks. Hope those beam pockets are in the right place.
