This shows the Ramp and Final Form for the West Walls of the Tool House. Notice the Edge of the Table below the Ramp, at the bottom of the Photo. Each Wheelbarrow of Concrete was Shoveled into Black Rubber Buckets, and passed up to the Table, and from the Table they were passed up by Hand to the Ramp, and then they were picked up and Dumped into the Form. In other words, each Shovel-full of Concrete was handled at least 7 times, beginning at the Mixer! Indeed, (Number 1) the Sand had to be Shoveled into a Wheelbarrow, and Carefully Rolled to the Mixer. Likewise, the Gravel had to be Shoveled into a Wheelbarrow, and Rolled to the Mixer without Spilling it; and then (Number 2) the Sand and Gravel had to be Shoveled into the Mixer, along with the Cement; and after all was Thoroughly Mixed Together with Water, it was (Number 3) Dumped into the Concrete Wheelbarrow, and then (Number 4) it was Pushed Up the Long Ramp, and then (Number 5) it was Shoveled into Rubber Buckets that were placed near to the Top of the Wheelbarrow on a Table; and then (Number 6) the Buckets were passed up to the Scaffolding Ramp just below the Main Scaffold at the Bottom of the Last Form on Top of the Wall, at which Time (Number 7) the Buckets were Picked Up for the Last Time and Dumped into the Form, followed by Rough Rocks, and then all was Vibrated in Order to Eliminate as many Air Pockets as Possible within the Concrete.
