One of six concrete piers that will add support to the retaining walls.

Just in time before the next wave of rain storms, Doug, from RK Concrete showed up with a concrete pumper truck to fill our pier forms.  The cardboard column forms are made out of cardboard and probably would not have survived another soaking.

The Tri-Agg concrete truck arrived right on time after Doug had the pump and hoses set up.  He then proceeded to fill the SonoTubes with a little help from me dragging the heavy hoses around the site.

As is often the case, there is usually a bit of concrete left over.  Planning for that, Jeff and I built a form to make concrete blocks.  We will probably use these for a future raised garden bed.

It looks like we are in for another long winter rain storm.  I’m not sure how long it will delay us on moving forward with the rest of the foundation.  We will just have to wait until we get another dry spell.
