This is the only picture I took last Sunday. Dana, Dad and I poured concrete all day long, so no one was available to take any pictures. I'm sure our neighbors loved us that day - the concrete mixer ran until 8:45 that night. And it is NOT quiet in any way! The concrete needs a bit of baby sitting after it's poured. You have to keep it smoothed out and then when it's just dry enough I had to put the drift pins in there (the little pieces of rebar that sit right in the center). Then when it's even drier, but not all the way dry, you have to go around and edge all of the sides. We finally ate dinner about 10pm and then had to go back out around 11pm to do all the edging and make sure it was setting up ok. It was a long day to say the least.
So glad to be able to say that one more little task has been completed! Next up - standing up the logs for the porch. Stay tuned...
