well we got the second form completed yesterday. when i arrived at work bobby, my boss and pilot bud, had already started working on dismantling the first form to reuse and make the second. you have to be careful with concrete. make sure you have given it enough time to "cure" before removing the form. otherwise you run the risk of chipping/breaking the concrete. i'm new to concrete work so i'm learning these lessons as i go. all i know for sure is this: mixing concrete with a shovel in a wheelbarrow sucks. really really sucks. it took 8 80lb bags for each form. we ordered the new carport yesterday and should arrive in 7 to 10 days. long enough for the concrete to thoroughly set. well i'm off to get ready for work. 14 hour day ahead.
