It stopped raining here around 2 AM. At times it rained hard during the night. I dug my steel toed boots out from under the motorhome this morning. I needed more than just shoes to wallow around in all the mud at the job site. I didn't bring any rubber boots because I never thought I would need them.
We cleaned mud off wall footings and formed up about 25' of 3' tall wall. Hopefully the forms will hold when we pour the concrete next week. I'm not sure why we can't afford a few form ties. Guess it is far more exciting to have to race up with the backhoe to brace a form during every pour.
They brought in a small (3.5 cu. ft.) concrete mixer today. It ought to be a lot better than the Sackrete route we used to pour the wall this week.
We went out for supper tonight, back to Catfish & Steak place. We had a good meal.
The weekend is supposed to be sunny. Hopefully things will dry out a little by Monday, but more rain is in the forecast for Monday night. No one from east Texas is complaining about the rains. Even with all the rain we have seen in the past two weeks most of the ponds on the YWAM campus are still many feet below normal.
Good night t all and may God bless you and yours.
