We started a bit earlier than yesterday, and I am glad we did. We did not get done pouring concrete until 12:30. Speaking only for myself, I was beat, and I was not working as hard as some of our guys. They did a great job. Norm troweled again.
We put the beam up at the house and marked the location for the posts. We dug those and got them ready to pour.
We ate with Don and Doris again, and were in bed at 9:45.
After reading what I wrote for the day, it looked like we accomplished very little, based on the number of words. The reality is, we worked hard all day. The pouring of the main pad was a HUGE undertaking when you consider that ALL of the sand and gravel had to be shoveled, all of the cement had to be poured into the mixer, then the concrete mix dumped into wheelbarrows and wheeled into place. The troweling alone was a 2-3 hour job. Putting the beam up was also very detailed work that required a significant amount of effort. Fortunately we had a couple sections of scaffold to stand on. We were beat by the end of the day.
