St. Joseph Week 3

Posted by mjsouth on January 26, 2008

Javier and his crewAgain we are making good progress at the St. Joseph Catholic Church in Commerce, Texas.  We finished the blocks last week and started to form the ring beam for the top of the dome.  Despite the rain and concrete pump problems, Javier and crew got the forms finished, installed all the uprights, installed the first strain gauge in the dome, and was able to pour the concrete by Thursday.  I had the crew come home for the rest of the week, because of the cold, so that the beam would have some cure time before inflation.  Click the picture to see more images.
