Here they are starting the pour on the 16'x16' section of the barn.

Re: Spencer\'s Pole Barn Project

We ordered a little extra concrete because we didn't want to run short (especially because it was Saturday). I was pretty sure I calculated everything correctly and because I did most of the grade work myself I was pretty confident that we wouldn't need that much extra concrete. So I had them frame up a 4'x8' section outside the 3'0" door opening just in case we had extra concrete.

Sure enough we had enough extra to do the 4'x8' section.

Here is a picture of how much concrete was left over (waste) out of the 15 yards we ordered.

Here is a picture of the 24'x32' section as they were waiting for it to dry some before they got on it with the power trowel.

Re: Spencer\'s Pole Barn Project

I wanted a 16'x32' approach to the 16'x16' section of the barn. We wanted to bring the approach area up to grade on Saturday while we were waiting for the concrete inside the barn to dry. Turns out that I didn't have enough fill sand on site so I had to get some brought it.

Here is a picture of the approach before we brought it up to the right grade.

Re: Spencer\'s Pole Barn Project

I had them dump about 13 to 15 yards of this 24 yard load of fill right by the approach so I could bring it in slowly with the tractor and let the concrete guys compact it as we went.

Gee, Spencer,

Here I thought you up'ed and moved away from us. How's life been treating you. Last time we talked you were pretty busy, looks like it is still going that way.

Welcome back,

Back to the concrete it the barn now. Here is the owner of the concrete company going over the 32'x32' section with the power trowel.
