Ready to Pour Concrete

On Saturday, Aug. 9, we posted a photograph of the installation of reinforcing bars on the construction site, and today, Aug. 11, the form is complete and ready for concrete to be poured. The steel walls, supported by braces, make a "box" to contain the soupy concrete. After the concrete hardens, the forms are removed. The completed structure will be a retaining wall to protect the enclosed courtyard outside the Epiphany Chapel and the Madison Day Care rooms on the lower level of the church and the new addition.
