Outside - Pouring Concrete Part 3

This new concrete is a huge step toward getting the front door open.

Here's a shot of one of the square columns with the wooden forms removed:






The anchor bolts are lined up exactly where they need to be:






Here's another:






The duct tape worked well to keep the threads, washer, and nut clean:






Here's a wider view that shows one of these squares and the wall, too:






Here's an even wider view; the jumble of wood there in the middle are pieces of the forms:





See the notch in the back wall? That's where we poured the rest of the concrete. Wheelbarrow loads of soil were removed from up against the building and the concrete went in, sloping away from the building, to keep rain water flowing away.
For right now, this will be a good spot for potted plants, but as we continue to develop our ideas for hillside seating, this will work into the overall design.






You'll notice there is still rebar sticking out from the top of the wall. That's because another pour needs to go on top of this new wall to finish reinforcing this old rock. However, the upper part is not nearly as bad as the bottom was, so it can wait a little while.

Next up will be the support columns for the front door.
