Well, it keeps me on my toes anyway! <BR/>Yeah, I may have to elaborate some on the watermelon story; it's good for several more laughs. lol!<BR/><BR/>Hey mya! Yes, I would imagine that it is quite wind resistant. I guess the cost is probably the reason they don't build more but how much does insurance and rebuilding keep costing in those areas, ya know? Since you are interested, I'll show how they connect them to the building.<BR/><BR/>Hey FC! Yeah, I've wondered about that too! ;) I know I'll never live that whole thing down for the rest of my life though. lol!<BR/>Well, a lot of precast concrete is poured elsewhere and transported to the job but these are so wide they can't really be hauled.<BR/>Yes, we stack them up like pancakes, sometimes pouring as many as 6 or 7 in one stack. There is no liner, just the bond breaker; you pour your first panel and form the next one on top. Then, before you put the rebar in the form, you spray about 3 coats of bond breaker on that bottom panel (now the floor of the next panel), then lay in your rebar and try to pour quickly before it rains! Does that make more sense? Kind of like spreading butter between your pancakes as you stack them!MamaHenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018971960706063902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-22363539870889902142008-10-04T19:01:00.000-05:002008-10-04T19:01:00.000-05:00What is it with guys and melons?Anyway, yes, keep ...What is it with guys and melons?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, yes, keep up the good how its done stuff.
