Slab

July 31, 2012

Concrete trucks lined up along Cheviot Hills Lane this morning ready to pour concrete for our house!  They started very early - so I made three visits to the site today.  Early morning, mid-day, and evening.  All went well and there was no rain.

If you look closely, you can see three trucks but there were five trucks earlier.  The guys slog around in the concrete with boots on spreading as it is dumped out.

 
I was fascinated by the long handled tool used to smooth the concrete.

This picture was taken around 11:30 a.m. - Nelson is smoothing out the garage floor and the main house floor is being "swirled."

Taken this evening - a completed and drying slab.  Tomorrow the property will be "graded" and gravel will be dumped in the driveway area.  Wood will be delivered Thursday and walls will start going up on Friday.

Thank you for checking in!
