tues a.m. progress report

It’s not even 9:30 in the morning as I write this and the giant hole David and Joe drilled out the other day is already filled with concrete. It pays to hire professionals. Who start work at 7:30.

Joe mixes the first batch of concrete while David dampens the hole. I can’t believe I just wrote that…

The big hole takes the first load. I can’t believe I just wrote that…

David’s job is to — well, you can look at the pictures and apply your own innuendos…

And now, coffee break while things harden up. I can’t believe I just wrote that.

FYI: COMMENTING ISSUES ARE FINALLY FIXED! HAVE AT IT.

    Is this like the Army where you dig holes and them fill them up? Well, whatever it is, looks like progress! Exciting!

    Sorry to post in the wrong place but the section I was particularly interrested in was closed!

    I just stumbled upon your fantastic blog!! We are currently remodelling in Los Angeles and are looking for a solution to the latest budgetary shocker that is… “Fire Access Stairs”!. Your galvanized stair shapers filled with pebbles seem perfect?

    Do you have any more info/costing on these?

    Thanks

    Hey there, Andrew… sorry about the comments fiasco. For some reason it was set to close all comments after 2 wks. Fixed it!

    In any case, galvanized stair steps. We’re researching that for you right now! David will have an answer.

    Hi Andrew, thanks for the kind words.
    Those exterior steps are 1/4″ steel that has been hot-dip galvanized.
    Our fabricator says for a bunch like we made figure about $1.65 per pound.
    An 8″ high step weighs 7 pounds per linear foot for a running cost of $11.55 per foot.
    Your price may vary but that should put you in the ballpark at least.
    Please let us know how things turn out.

    Good luck!
