Back Yard Progress Update

All of my company is gone and I am not expecting any one else until tomorrow.  The good news is that we are making progress on the yard though.  Below is the start of a column.  This time instead of making a complete pour they used little preformed cement rings to form the column.  They put them one at time over the rebar and then fill them with concrete.
This is Harry the master plumber at work installing water pipes for a mister system inside the perimeter of the  gazebo as well as installing a drain pipe inside the column for runoff water from the roof.
The forms are next for the beam that connects the columns.
Here is poor old Issac killing his back to pour the cement in the form.
Next day the form is off and the work begins of finishing off the columns.  This is the final coat of polished cement.

Today (Feb 17th) they finally came to move dirt into the yard.  It is not where it needs to be but the boys will move it in by hand like they did for the front and side yards.  That will keep them busy and in the chips for a while.
