Finished leveling the fill in one bin and started on the rebar grid.

It rained last night so everything was muddy today. Despite that, we set the forms for a bin and poured it after lunch. The rest of the afternoon was spent putting fill in the other bin.

Removed the inside forms, which we need for the next bin. Started filling and packing the inside of what we poured yesterday so we can pour the bin floor on top of it.

Another hole, more steel, and another 54 yards of cement. Poured the wall for one bin and the footing for another.

Not farm related, but still interesting. Looked at Venus, Mars, and Saturn tonight. Also looked at something very far away through a telescope with a 24-inch mirror.

Added a drain for the pit. Note the fiber-optic cable we went under - had to hand-dig that part.

We wouldn't want the swimming pool to float away, so we added 10 yards of cement to anchor it down.
