Starting blocks on the second floor

Here in Mexico we are in the middle of what the locals call Semana Santa or the holy week. This is a week long celebration for Easter and one of the largest vacation times for the Nationals. Many businesses closing for up to two weeks and use this time for their family vacation. Thankfully my guys only took one additional day off with their families and have returned back to the job today.

The first set of photos below are from March 23rd, the day after the pouring of the second floor.
