The guys showed up early this morning, and the concrete started pouring. First is the back yard, and since they mounded a lot of rocks and dirt on the top of the concrete pile of the sidewalk to the pad area, the new concrete was poured on top of the mess. They then started to edge it off and take out the support, and the whole thing was an amazing feat.
They smooth the top, founded the edges, and I had Gracie run across. First she would not go, then just going from the north stairs to the back door. She made some prints and they had to smooth off a little, so not so much remained. I also had them set the old kitchen fish tiles on the little patch of concrete by the garage door. Then Hugo stamped the concrete and it looked beautiful.
We need to water it daily.
Boon said we should have had them place stress relievers like the wood sticks so the concrete don't crack. Oh well, Ben said no need. And we won't know until years later if the crack starts.
KR went surfing, then to Jim's house for dinner. Didn't come back until after 9, I had gone to bed,
Kurt came home and did some home work, and didn't stay up too late, I think.
