What Donny said
Donny. Steele. Monday. Four guys. Rained on us. Tied mat G to J in equalization tank, about 70 percent, ran out of #5 bars before quitting. Tomorrow we finish that and start the uppers if we get the bars. Almost lost a guy this morning, swing on the rebar bundle, rigger fixed it. No injuries. Need somebody to check on the column ties for the blower pad, still ain't here.
