Keeping the earth moving...

Excess earth from footings is stock piled...then moved.

  (upper left) I have put an arrow indicating the piston device that pumps the concrete...there are two 10 foot long pistons. Every ten seconds the automatic lever (see arrow) releases the piston, which pushes the concrete through the hose.
