The walls are poured! The pump truck was impressive. It's at least 4 or 5 stories high and was able to reach all walls while staying parked in the same spot near the gate. They filled the lower windows first and worked their way around the walls in 3 separate pours of approximately 3 to 4 feet each. They have anchor bolts in the top of the wall along 4 foot intervals or so. One of the pictures shows drops of water sweating through the styrofoam after the second pour.
There are a couple of guys here already starting to take the plywood patches off the seams. The rest of the crew will be back tomorrow to remove bracing, lightly sand the walls, and attach wood along the top to the anchor bolts so that the rest of the framing and roof can be tied in. The framers will be here Wednesday.

Did it rain in there on Monday night? If so, did it slow the drying process?
No to both. It rained a lot in parts of town (we were at the brick place when it started pouring), but didn't really rain much out here. It was already set up at that point, so it wouldn't have really mattered much if it had rained. We could have actually used some rain.
