Susan and I got an extra early start to avoid the heat and smoke that filled the valley yesterday. By the time the sun began to light up the clouds, we were well underway backfilling and leveling the garage floor and digging a trench for forms for the patio which will be poured in front of the daylight basement.
While we were busy moving dirt, Betty and her crew arrived to set up the forms for the 7 1/2" reinforced concrete vault roof. To bear the weight of the steel reinforcement and wet concrete, the pour requires a specialized support system, consisting of interlocking beams and twelve adjustable jack screw columns. The plan is that the vault lid, the garage floor and the patio will all be poured this coming Tuesday.
