Switching Gears

I am going from casting concrete against the railroad dock to topping it off with masonry blocks.

Completed with Paint.

Masonry veneer 80% completed.

After concrete.

With nine pours completed the pig-iron is entirely encapulated by fiber-glass reinforced concrete mix.

Before pig iron slag demolition.

The degree of slump for a two bag mix I tried to keep as low as possible. A spade shovel which I used to place the mix would easily stand in it without falling.
