This is something. Marty the cement man and his crew have spent probably a day and a half working on putting the forms in place. This afternoon starting after 2 PM and in a couple of hours or so and a few truck loads of cement pushed through the pumper, the wall will be done and the curing process will start.

With the pumper the cement trucks don't even have to get off the driveway and into the mud around the barn.

The long blue arm gives the workers a lot of distance to move the cement with relative ease.

The fellow standing on the dirt pile is the man in charge. He runs everything from the controls located on his waist. He controls the pumper including where the pipe sends the cement.
If you look back to Day 31 you'll see the forms that go up and around the sill timbers. The pipe is putting the cement into the form and will fill up along the timber. We'll see the timbers with cement poured up tight to them in a future day's blog. Roger says the forms will be removed tomorrow.
Special thanks to Kathy Kent and Bill Esch for the help in getting photos today.
