Yesterday was Studio V’s second concrete pour of the semester! After a weekend of digging and tamping dirt, laying plastic, strategically placing a rebar grid, and setting the forms for the piers… time for concrete! Now that the slab is completed, we are moving into the shop to begin building the formwork for the piers. The piers’ formwork is made of melamine sheets, which consist of several grooves to accommodate the placement of our farm stand’s benches and tabletops. We will spend this week assembling these melamine boxes, that will soon be placed over top of the protruding rebar in the slab, as we prepare for our third and final concrete pour next week!
Step 1: Prep for the slab
Step 2: Concrete delivery
Step 3: Magic!
Stay tuned with Studio V…
