Drove to the lake Friday to play golf and check on the progress. When I was about a block away I noticed a tall "boom" on the horizon. It was the concrete pumping mechanism the contractor uses to pour walls. So my timing was perfect since the entire process to fill the forms only took about an hour. It is really an interesting process. Two cement trucks empty or unload into a hopper that feeds the pump. An operator with a remote control standing near the truck controls where the boom goes and ultimately where the concrete flows.

Filled forms with interior braces for support.
Plumbing lines I roughed in on Friday that will be under the basement slab for a second bathroom and shower in the basement.
Next step? Have the state plumbing inspector come look at, and hopefully approve, my work so we can get the floor poured.
