Slab

It is Wednesday afternoon... about 5 minutes after I wrote the last entry :) The guys started pouring the concrete this morning at 5am and had every bit of it in place by 10am, pretty unbelievable ... they added 300,000 pounds of concrete in 5 hours!

The garage was poured out of a traditional concrete truck and took about an hour to set down. The house was a bit more difficult to get at due to our narrow front/side yard so they used a pump truck. If you have never seen one of these things I will tell you it is awesome. It is basically a small crane with a concrete tube and an elephant trunk on the end that you can direct the flow with.

As it shows up on the site...It unfolds...


Awesome...

Consider if you will that a typical bag of concrete is 80 pounds. Add in a couple gallons of water and lets call it 100 pounds in 1 wheel barrow... it would have taken 3,000 wheel barrows to do this!



And she may not look like it, but Tesla is much happier that she only had to wait in the car for a couple hours this morning rather than waiting for me to move all those wheel barrows.



Final slab pictures to come in a day or two.

Cheers,
