Just like the wall crew using a Stihl cut-off saw on the fabric between layers of fill, they do a job on black iron water pipe, too.

Using the tooth on the back of a dozer to rip the rocks and the blades to lower the current approach road to the Cabela's pad and they've begun to cut in the main road from Lee Highway.

Time for the very last layer today on the Cabela's pad. The material is called '2180', a screen size designation, and it's being hauled from a local quarry by a series of trucks from several local haulers.
There is a D6 Cat with a 'spreader box' attachment on the front and the trucks back up to it and as the bed is raised, the D6 moves the material and the truck ahead. When a windrow is full length, the Grader and Roller make their final passes.

After about a week of the penetrations made into the pad surface, re-bar crew getting pieces wired together and into position, naturally the day to roll the ready-mix trucks turned out to be wet and miserable. I'm guessing thirty loads of concrete through the day.

More re-bar on site and the first of several loads of block.

Some interesting pre-fab scaffolding and planks...the upper pieces have elec drives and I'm guessing they are lifts to either raise the blocks or to elevate the plank decks as the walls go up.

After two days drilling, today's shot preps trench work for completion of the large diameter (30"?) corrugated storm drain line that will be fed from all the drain inlets in the Cabela's parking area and from future downspouts from the building itself. The large line has already been installed leading to the two Detention Ponds on the south-east end of the project.
Before and After pics looking west toward the job trailer and south toward the sign legs.

From a distance it looked like 3 truckloads of bean bags but closer up it turned out these were 'Special Mix' QuikCrete mortar bags to be mixed up in that hopper device next to the PortaJohn.
