update - WINE CAVES


Little x little the construction continues in between the day to day running of the vineyard, as well as building fixtures for the new store.
In case u were wondering how they were going to pour concrete at the upper level of the wall
Tom has built a ramp - capable of holding a tractor w/a front end loader full of concrete 10,000 pounds plus, which he drives up to pour into the forms at top of the wall. Again I emphasize this is a 2 man operation, w/all the concrete being mixed in a specially designed mixer,which was also self constructed to mix continues loads fast and efficiently, WOW
