Lally columns
The Wasko construction crew has already made tangible progress on the structural work in the walk-out basement. We passed our first inspection on July 29, enabling the crew to pour QUIKRETE® 5000 Concrete Mix into the two large holes they made the day before.
In went the lally columns and the floor of the great room above already feels stiffer.

According to Wikipedia, "A lally column is an architectural term for a long, round, steel pipe oriented vertically to provide support to beams or timbers stretching over long spans." Me too, but for women!

Congratulations on passing your first inspection! Still, making the floor in the great room more stable sort of ruins the air of adventure you were experiencing on a daily basis, doesn't it? (i.e. Will I collapse into the basement today if I decide to watch TV? etc etc) . . . ;-)
