It beats hauling the concrete in wheelbarrows

Today they poured the concrete for our foundation. The inspector came just before the concrete. Our contractor likes to pass inspections the first time so everything was done right and acceptable to the inspector. The concrete trucks poured the concrete onto another truck that pumped the concrete through a hose way up into the air. You can see the boom with the concrete hose going up to the tops of the trees.
This is the boom truck and concrete truck in front of our house. The braces for the boom truck blocked most of our road.
This is the workers pouring the concrete. The one standing next Jenga stack in the blue shirt has the remote control for the boom. The one in the red shirt is controlling the end of the hose to pour the concrete.
This is the form filled with concrete. I was told we are using a six-bag mix of concrete.
