Steel delivery & the last big pour (of concrete)

Three, maybe four concrete truck arrive on Friday afternoon to fill in the top half of the back retaining wall, the hot tub slab and the footing for the wall to Ramoth.

Pre the concrete pour, post the last photos, the steel for the hot tub slab had been raised to increase the cover:

The steel beams for the frame (some spans are too big for Glulam beams that wouldn’t become very thick) arrive:
