Bin Foundation

Putting on the belt and motor that runs about 10 times faster than it should. When you put sand, rock, concrete and water in it.... and turn it on.... RUN!!!!!!
Cleaning the mixer is not his cup of tea.. can you tell?
The poor old house. Always in a state of disrepair.

Footings for the north wall and about half of the bin.
Set in place, paint started, front roof half done. We put that porch on also. We call it the "sun porch" Ha, ha.. it's on the north. Not much sun there !

When you are making concrete you need the ingredients. Sand, gravel and concrete.
Here's a wonderful view of the front of the worst forms on earth! Yes, we get the prize!
The area looks quite small with all that "stuff" inside, but it's 18 feet across. The gray stuff you see on the bottom right side is extra concrete from pouring that lovely wall :-)



Of course you must fix everything before you can actually do any work.



Really bad forms. Don't say a word ok?
See the concrete poured (where the bad forms were?) As long as the concrete stays in the forms, (as dad says) "it'll get hard and do the job."
Footings.
Another picture of the BAD forms!
