Tuesday Cement Pour

As indicated in last Wednesday's post, we will be pouring cement Tuesday (tomorrow). There will be approximately six cement trucks coming one after the other - roughly every 1/2 hour to 40 minutes apart. The pumper truck will arrive early - at around 7:30am to set up - and the first truck will arrive around 8 or 8:30.

We will do our absolute best to minimize the traffic congestion, but patience will be greatly appreciated as the trucks maneuver in to place to park and, when empty, pull out to depart.

Another Cement Pour Update

Our cement pour has now been pushed from tomorrow (Thursday) to Monday. However, to avoid giving the trash/recycling folks any other reason to not do the Dos Posos run, we've decided to push the somewhat traffic-unfriendly cement pour to next Tuesday instead. We'll keep you posted on the details and, will, as always, make sure there is enough room for cars to comfortably pass by without delay - it's the big trucks that could have trouble.

Cement Pour Update

After leaving one side of the wooden forms open for the rebar install, we are now in the process of putting that other side in place. This could take another couple of days. Plus inspections, etc. So...

The cement pour looks as though it will be pushed to Thursday of this week. Again, will keep you updated when we know the specifics (number of trucks, timing of the first truck, etc.)

Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Go Lance!! (in the Tour De France)

PG&E Gas Work

Surprise, surprise... PG&E has now rather unexpectedly shown up to cap off our gas line for the remainder of the construction project. This was supposed to occur long ago - and we were waiting for our 24-hour notice call that never came - and just when we had given up on it ever happening in the near future, here they are!

They will be working on digging up the existing gas line on the 5 Dos Posos property and adjacent street - all to "cap off the line". We are told this will take a good portion of the day.

Truly sorry for the late notice - but had no idea it was happening today!!

Rebar Install Finish/Cement Pour

After a significant delay, we are now planning on finishing the grade beam rebar install today (Wednesday) - hence the rebar truck atop the driveway this morning with an emergency delivery of steel. Then it will all be inspected, then we will pour cement. So my guess is that cement pour #2 will occur early next week. Probably Tuesday. I will keep you posted on the details of the pour as the date approaches.

Rebar Install

Today, and for the next several days, we will have additional folks on site to install the rebar within the grade beam forms/trenches. It appears that this morning there is a fairly large rebar-oriented truck parked atop the driveway - I will see if this is going to be here all day and/or if it will also need to be present every other day that this crew is on site.

After the rebar install is finished we will be moving ahead with cement pour #2. At this point, it looks like this will be taking place early/mid next week. I'd say Wednesday if pressed.

Form Building Continues

The foundation form building will continue this week, which will include the delivery and arrival of rebar with a rebar crew to install it - this will undoubtedly include a truck that will be parked at the top of the driveway. We will be sure to allow enough room for cars to pass. This will most likely occur Tuesday or Wednesday and will take probably one or two days in total.

Also, early in the week (hard to tell despite our efforts), we will have PG&E here to trench up our gas line and cap it at the street for the remainder of the project.

The cement pour for the forms will probably be early next week - we'll keep you posted.

Thanks, as always, for your patience as we move forward.
