This was our final attempt at a sand coat over the rough shotcrete. We were successful! Larry Regier brought his 30 yard an hour pump over along with two of his regular crew members, Mark and Kelvin. They started setting up at 1:30 on Friday afternoon, then concrete arrived at 3:30. He sprayed the first 5 yards in the augment and under the living room windows.  When the second truck arrived, we had readjusted the lift to reach the center of the dome. Larry then sprayed the center area of the dome. The interior of the dome will be much smoother for stucco application, now that we've taken the deeper valleys up to a more level height.

really nice man lift - 42 foot reach
