Been a busy couple days on the boat shed cover.
Used a borrowed transit to shoot elevations for the footing forms and string lines. I had not used a transit in many years, but it was like riding a bike, plus I had the owner of it helping me out so all I had to do was hold the tape, moving up and down and marking where he liked it. No photos as there was thunderstorms brewing so we packed it up as soon as the last elevation was shot and marked.
My 30 year old skill saw still works well enough to cut the wood to build the forms that I screw together so I can use them for all 10 piers. Borrowed a real old mixer from my neighbor who pretty much told me he does not want it back. It works like a champ and I'm tired long before it has been thus far. Pouring two a day forming them up, getting them on line and grade. Be advised they are in fact level contrary to what appears in the photos..
The quad and the snowplow blade have worked well for leveling and removing material from the area between the piers that will be covered and will get a 3-4 inch section of drain rock.
