After weeks of digging, pouring concrete, building forms, pouring more concrete, more digging, more…, the big day finally arrived when the floor of the new barn at Hiram Farm was finally poured. Yesterday a large contingent of workers from Cement Mason’s Local 404 (IAOPCM) arrived at the farm and supplied most of the muscle and all of the skill to pour nine inches of concrete over the 32×48 foot floor area.

The end result is a level, flat concrete slab that will be the base for the barn and will provide a low-maintenance, durable floor area that will last for more than a century.
