Finally, after weeks of planning, The day of the Big Pour arrived! Both inspections went well the week before, and I worked most of the weekend doing the final details on the forms.
Because I decided to do all 4 of these levels at the same time, the form work was very complex. Not only were there the transitions between levels, there were curved sections and custom beams that support various parts of the floor.
Even with all the time I put in, there were still things to do as the trucks started rolling up and the concrete started pumping!
The footings in the back of the living room took almost 2 full trucks of concrete alone!
After the living room footing was filled, the cellar footing and slab was done.
Next, the walls supporting the foyer and the foyer slab were poured.
Finally, the walls supporting the living room and the living room slab were poured.
In total, 72 cubic yards in 8 trucks were poured. The 4 finishers stayed all day, and did a really nice job!
Here's a little video of the action!
Next, the living room walls start going up!
