The Tigue is a special place

The only reason I am not sure is because I don't know exactly where they are on the time line. Once they finish with the slab on grade that will give me a hard point and then I can compare that point with the same point on original time line. What I do know is they had originally projected completion of the demolition at the end of June and from what I can tell they finished demolition in the first week of August. That puts them about 5 weeks behind the original time line. What I don't know is what affect the rains in August had on the work schedule. I suspect at least a week but that's a guess.

It rained in August? You sure?

Website is back up and they did indeed make a pour this morning. Progress....

They quit working after the pour or because there's a football game tonight at 7:00 PM?

I'd guess they poured all of the footings and would have to wait for them to cure which may take a couple of days. Helmut?

They will probably wreck the forms tomorrow and move them over to the next section.

They are wrecking forms this morning.

Does concrete of that size cure that quickly?

Its not fully cured but its far enough along to remove forms. Some large concrete pours don't "fully" cure for years.

It's no problem. They just need to be careful around it for a few days. Most curbing and paving is done by "slip form" method. That is with no forms. It is high early strength and close to zero slump. Concrete pipe is made with zero slump concrete. It's all good, believe me.

In other words, no worries........looks good to me. Let's continue with the next pour.

That is correct and that is what they are doing.
