Pouring concrete under water

[MossRoad]

Anyhow, the usefulness to the OP and his duck house might be done, but its still fun to talk about stuff just to learn how its done.

UPDATE

Duck house successfully installed. Appears to be good and steady. This is a heavy Duckhouse. House probably weighs 25 lbs and post is 3" heavy duty galvanized pipe 9ft long. Hopefully duck will talke up residence this winter. Thanks to all who offered suggestions.

So did you just dump in the mixed concrete in to push out the water or what? Inquiring minds want to know

Yup, late to this thread, but reading through it was worthwhile just to see the ideas. :thumbsup: Have never had to pour underwater, but I'm a bit smarter now if I do.

Looking forward to a pic, with or without a happy wood duck.
