That's a play on "Waiting for Godot"...spoiler alert: Godot NEVER arrives.
The concrete was supposed to be today but is delayed for WEATHER! YA! I TOLD the builderman that the hill is a slip-n-slide when wet. Concrete trucks are heavy. The hill is steep. And now we are in the rainy season.
Of course, we can't go back in time. Supposedly the concrete comes tomorrow.
It will take 3 loads. I can't believe there is room for that much concrete given how much rebar is in the slab
It's 12" max spacing, often closer.
It is drilled into a little footing dealy and the brackets for the post-n-beam structure are bolted into that and will be set in the concrete (grade beam and slab are a mono-pour). The builderman added the little footing deal to allow bolting in the brackets rather than wet-setting them. It also allowed the OSB you can see on the side of the photo with visqueen over it. That's holding back the sloped gravel called out in the plans. Gravel doesn't just hold a slope during pour no matter what the engineer draws.
It will be fun to watch.
