But I've gotten ahead of myself. That was well into the process. First came the drilling: 250' down.

Then the grouting (we were bad and poured ours. Proper way is to drop a hose to the bottom and pump it in from the bottom up.)

We had 4 mixers full per borehole, each mixer load was two bags of grout and 10 bags of silica sand. Each bag weighed 50 pounds, so we let the equipment do the lifting.

Overview of the drilling/grouting. The corner of the building being converted is visible to the left, just above the skidsteer.

More to follow...
