Windpower

      In the last exciting adventure of the Invasion of the Wind Towers, cement covered the dome-shaped mesh with a cylindrical batch of rebar still protruding.


     Then they formed up the cylinder.


   And poured it.




And the result:


     Then the cover up:


    It has been pretty dry, so a little water was necessary.


      And we are back to normal, sort of.  It is amazing that they filled the hole with miles of rebar and tons of cement and then ALL of the dirt they dug out originally.  The power of compaction.


    The boys took off July 4th and it rained 1.5"  That slowed them down a little.  But they have added a pillbox to the pads.

 
     And the tower bases and blades continue to roll in.



More to come.
