I called John about 10:30 to order the concrete for 4:30.
I ordered 18 yards. I left work at 2:00 so I could get things finished and everything prepared for the concrete. Dad and Matthew got there about the same time, and John called and said the concrete wouldn't be ready until 5:30 since they were behind schedule. I also built some forms for some additional supports to make the floor a bit more stiffer. Tom and another renter showed up to help about the time the concrete showed up. They had 9 yards on the first truck. The second truck was driven by John May, one of my old students. We ended up needing 2 more yards so the first driver came back with the additional concrete. In all, the job was a lot of work. We had to wheel barrow quite a bit, and a full wheel barrow weights probably close to 400 pounds. Mom brought dinner down, and from the pictures you can see that Lexey and Boots (the cat) helped as well. I got home about 10:15 Oh, Chuck took the pictures... |
