The precast wall was ALL installed on the early morning of Saturday 8/10/13.

The installation included a center precast "H" frame to slide the 2 wall sections into. The center H frame was attached to a drilled cast in place concrete pier - that was installed that same morning. The pier probably needed at least 7 days cure time before it could properly support the approx 6,000 Lbs or so of the two precast panels.

I wonder what licensed structural engineer approved the installation in one day - and maybe the Town of Lady Lake will also.

PS: Stand back of the wall for a few more days in a stiff wind.
