Last November when I dug the holes for the main posts, I also dug the holes for the central floor supports. So, after 5 months, I had some cleanout to do. Also a little hole fitting to make sure the posts were well surrounded by concrete. Then I put a few inches of crushed limestone in the bottom of each hole and tamped it down. I pulled strings between the main posts to find the face plane and post height and measured across to find the center.
Each post was set and braced. For concrete, I used the crushed limestone that Chuck brought along with Portland cement (5:1).
Next week, I will begin the floor framing.
This week's mystery...Why do some flowers point up and others point down? I almost did not notice this pretty blossom hidden beneath its leaves.
