" Okay. A couple of days have gone by in the real time and we've made some progress with this project. If you look down in here, we've poured a concrete pad that allows us to install these tubular steel columns, which go all the way up to our header. We've got one on this side and we've got one on the other side. And when this steel gets put in place, we'll create this frame that we were talking about, the seismic frame, once the concrete truck arrives. Ready to put it in guys?"
" Yeah."
" Okay."
" Right there."
" So what is the PSI on this concrete? "
" This is 2000 pounds PSI concrete. "
" Well, that's the same stuff that we used for our garage slab. Isn't it a little bit wetter than you want?"
" No. This is exactly what we want."
" Yeah?"
" 'Cause in fact it is conformed into certain areas."
" Okay."
" It's a 6-sack mix, so we've got the cement in there, so we're in good shape."
" What does that mean, a 6-sack mix?"
" There are 6 sacks of cement for a yard of concrete. "
" Okay."
" And what we're doing is we're bringing this up to about 4 inches from the top of the finished garage slab, so that."
" It's essentially a rough core."
" That's a rough core. Right. And ready to get this gray beam in here."
" Look at this stuff just oozing on."
" Right."
" Over this way. Isn't that great?"
" This is what we wanted. Fills all the cracks."
" Yeah."
" And crevices."
" That's right. You don't have to worry about moving the shoot 'cause it will just fill the whole area in mostly by itself."
" Yeah."
