We did some cool stuff at work today

And fill the hole up with mud. We could get a mixer to this one, so we had sent the pump home after the first one. These holes took an even 10 yards of concrete each, with just enough rebar sticking out to get ahold of the beauty ring we'll put around them at finish grade. More of a mow strip, really.



These both will get some architectual steel elements welded to them, and then the generator. And that's the thing that drives me nuts-after all this, they are only putting a 1k generator on these. Not enough power to run anything. Oh, they will be hooked up to the grid, but all they are really designed to do is teach the kids about green energy, which is cool and all, but-dang!

They sure will look neat when they are done, though:

Nice pics, would you mind coming down to MO and showing my Superintendent how to work a camera?

I'm also in construction, a project manager. I'm wrapping up a $5mil higher education project (LEED Gold) right now and starting another $5mil higher ed building (LEED Platinum) and a $14mil church. One of the projects has a 65kw turbine on site that we are tying into, thankfully it was already there.

You must be like me with the forklift tires, I never paid them much mind until I was standing near one and it blew. Sounded like a bomb and threw gravel 100', dang near wet my pants.

Maybe we should start a construction thread!
