Baby's first steps

I imagine this is what a parent feels like when their child takes their first steps...yeah, must be. Seriously, what a difference a week makes! Even with the rain this week and missing a couple of working days, the crew was able to get everything done in order to pour our slab yesterday. So exciting!! And since they poured on Saturday, we got to be there to watch every moment of it. These guys work sooo hard and did such a great job, and we couldn't have asked for better weather yesterday. The pics this week tell the whole story.

Kinda dark Monday evening, but they got a lot of the pads built up. Quite a difference from last week!

Tuesday....rain, again.

Boo.

Couldn't do too much Wednesday with the rain

Lots of clean up and cables set on Thursday

Great views from the front yard!

All done Friday, inspections complete!

Ready for concrete!

Pump truck and the first 2 (of 17) concrete trucks

Power trowel making a smooth finish

Ta da! All done - 9 hours and 170 yards of concrete later...

Back patios

Did I mention the great views?

 

Even got to have a little fun out there today :)

 Next task, framing!
