well, I had an interesting day yesterday! My one friend who is a mason called me at 3:00 in the am and said he was too drunk to drive up here
Whatever, so my other buddy came over. We used his trailor to go to the big box and get more concrete block and all the concrete and mortar etc etc etc. Spent another $541.24. So we hauled one pallet of concrete and misc other supplies, and unloaded it here. A LOT of work!! Next we went back to get 22 more blocks and the mortar. As we were loading his trailor, the tongue snapped! Right in half! SO there we were at the loading dock at lowes with a busted trailor and no way to get the stuff here. So we pushed the trailor out of the way and proceded to load his jeep with block. We eventually got everything here though.
So the only thing we actually got done was relocating the mess sink last night. I ran new wiring this morning from the panel to the tank and installed 2 GFI outlets up where the pumps will be. My little one is sleeping now, and I've got to run out and return some of the stuff I bought. Found easier ways to do things without spending money!
Here are some fairly pointless pics.
1. I am NOT a contractor, nor an electrician, nor a plumber! This is a DIY adventure! If you are a plumber or electrician or carpenter, please don't look too closely!
After the little one wakes up, I'm going to start drilling for the rebar. If I can, I'll start laying block tonight.
They're dropped off about 12' away from where the tank is, so it shouldn't be too bad. I just carried about 20 of them in to layout the base, and it wasn't bad. My buddy does this for a living, and he's about 6'-1" 220lbs and mostly muscle. He's crazy. Give him some beer and he'll work all day. We're working from 7:00 tomorrow morning til about midnight tomorrow. I hope we can have the block work done, and pour the base slab tomorrow. I should get the sanitred this coming week, and should set the glass and seal the interior next weekend. Then I'll let it setup for a week and fill it the following weekend.
