The canoe team places concrete into the canoe mold during the concrete canoe pour day, 2013 
Ordering food! 
Starting to place concrete over the second layer of reinforcement 
We used some spare bricks to hold the reinforcement in place while we mixed more concrete. 
Brief break, waiting for more concrete to lay over the 2nd layer of reinforcement.

Packing in the last layer. 
The canoe is poured! 
Now we prep the concrete canoe for curing, a 4-week process in total. 
We needed the whole team to construct the canoe’s plastic shell 
The canoe will cure in this sealed, humidified shell for the next week.
