I'd rather roll a bucket around than try to mix it by hand with a shovel in a bucket or wheelbarrel!

Hmm...might have to try the bucket approach. I have a little heavy duty plastic tub designed for the sixty lb. bags. Hard work concrete is.

Here are some shots I took this week of what will be the pool area of the KC zoo polar bear exhibit that we are working on. These beams are sitting on top of a network of piers that are sunk into the ground underneith and will support the slab and walls that will contain the pool area.

In the second two shots, we are working on the first of two layers of steel that will connect through these beams and form the reinforcement for the slab. Before they pour this slab, there should be about 25 tons of steel installed.

The day that we were putting that bottom layer of the slab iron in was a hard day. About two weeks straight of days like that and I would be well on my way to being a body builder.

Cools pics,  I am a fan of seeing building pics of any kind,   My only rebar laying experience was when I laid it for my old shops foundation, that was small potatoes.  I like to see the "behind the scenes" of how some of these structures are built,   and as an added per do you get free zoo passes :)

LOL, I had pondered that same question just the other day, Wayne. I somewhat doubt it but will want to tie the wifey to see the polar bears when the area is open to the public.

Here  are a couple shots I had taken today, of myself tying up piers at the KCPL substation that we are working on in Liberty Mo.

Mine's in the middle of a dairy farm (seriously - 3/4 mile from the road) and Regency *still* expects us to wear them.

I've been getting spoiled not having to wear mine. Come time for the heat of the summer, I will have to wear it. Set and poured 9 piers today. Worked 9 1/2 hrs and had a pretty good day. Cloudy in the morning and sunny in the afternoon. High in the 70s. Two more days and the weekend is upon me.
