Exclamation The Pier is Up! - Wednesday 1/10/08

As planned the pier is up!

We spent the first part of the morning preparing the box frame for the concrete pier. We used 12mm standard MDF which would make the frame for the concrete pier.

We then leveled the box around the RIO bars and braced it using 2x4's. It took exactly 13 x 20kg bags of concrete to fill leaving us with less than a handful of concrete left over. It is now in the curing stage but is rock solid.

We have decided to leave the wooden frame around the concrete allowing us to be able to add some shelves and be able to easily attach things to it. The dimensions of the pier is 340mm x 340mm x 125mm.

The next step is Framing.

There will no construction work happening this long weekend as we are having a break.

That is all for now.
