There are many milestones to celebrate during the construction of a complex themed project. Today, we celebrated the completion of the last concrete pour. It was a bit dicy at times as we had four thunder showers during the day but the crew had plastic sheeting at the ready and thankfully each time the warm tropical downpour was brief. The crew worked hard to ensure the concrete turned out great! Tomorrow we return to the worksite to do a final layout for the train. Then on Monday I head back home for Christmas. We'll be back in January for final touchups of our features.
Countdown to finish
It was a very busy day in the hot sun as I directed the crew to shape, form and pour the greens and sidewalks of Skallywag Bay Adventure Golf. The good news is the last two greens were poured today along with multiple sidewalks. Tomorrow morning, the crew will form one last sidewalk before the concrete and pumper trucks arrive to place the last of the concrete. I've been waiting for his day to arrive for four long years!
Up the creek
Today was a very big day as the crew placed three full trucks of concrete on the adventure golf. They had never built a concrete creek previously but jumped right in to do the task. The crew placed the concrete and then we gently lowered the two bridges and hollow log into the newly formed concrete trough. The sidewalks were then formed over the bridges and up the hill to the other holes. By the end of the day the crew was definitely tired (as was I) but six more holes of the golf were complete. The goal is to finish the concrete work before I leave back home in a few days. It's a tall order without a doubt. We begin again bright and early tomorrow morning!
