      This really looks great. Thank you for sharing the build with these photos.

      I was curious how you were mixing all of this concrete.....do you own your own powered mixer?

      When I start feeling overwhelmed with my build, all I have to do is look at this and and mine seems easy peasy. Thanks for the inspiration...you are doing a fantastic job.

      Quick update , made a little progress on the distribution boxes . Adding a 4" top coarse . I am leaving the rain water fill it . I did not leave any open holes in the slab. The ground is saturated and I don't want to float it . We have been hammered with rain this year .

      nice block work and this is a perfect example of doing the foundation and block work correctly.
