New Project for farms expansion

Got here around June 3rd and started working.  Got put on concrete.  On the Walls crew.
Here is a few of the pics I have got so far.

Digging and pouring the rat slab right behind it.

The dust in above pic is from a second haul truck that just drove by. For those that have asked the rat slab, in this instance, preforms the following tasks:  Keeps soil  solid in the rains, since footings need to set on virgin or engineered fill, not mud.  Also speeds up the forming process giving a firm base to work on, and finally lowers cost of materials.

Also a couple of shots of our crane.  Just a little one right.  Well not quite Here is one brother walking past the block, the boom goes down when ever there is a chance of Thunderstorms.  When boom is laid out all the way it can reach both ends of the construction site and still pick 9000 lbs.  We use it to fly in our gang forms.  Sometimes we put a 3.4 yard bucket on it to pour with.  Great tool and the operators are wonderful.  Real precise.

Refresher:

Just thought I would update from January
