I would bet that was tiring, but on the good side you made a lot of progress since, what last year when you posted a bunch of photos. I forget now, but remember the job.
How in heck did you deal with the dust from the mixers that is nasty stuff in a confined space, did you use a fan or something ?
Footing looks nice, are you using vertical reinforcing, (rebar) spaced accordingly for the C.M.U. cells which should be filled with mortar to tie in the wall to footing or some other detail ? Just curious.
I too prefer the ready mix truck, but to get that material placed, would have at least needed a trailer size pump,(wheel barrows, chutes can be a pain sometimes) a short load with associated price increase, pump design mix, or possibly use one of those trucks that will mix the quantity you want, vs. 100 bags, extra help, I dunno, the latter takes longer and is more labor intense, the previous would just cost more or would seem to, but much less labor intense, lot of opinions on doing bags or ready mix trucks. The only thing I don't like with bags is keeping the material flowing so you don't have any cold joints or have it set up while you are still placing, structurally, that can be an issue in some situations, vs having it all placed promptly at once.
