Up and up


Every day we pour more and more concrete. There seems to be no end of the foundations that need to be poured. The rate rebar can be placed and concrete poured is astounding. The barometer on site it the chimney. The chimney is now half way up. That is three hundred feet. Another three hundred and they will be done. The steel contractor is on site and the first building will soon begin to rise on the foundation our company built.

The diagram above may give you some idea of how they pour the chimney without stopping. The chimney is going up at about one inch an hour.
