Concrete - All Done

Finally, a project that Doug has been talking about for a couple years now - DONE! He's been wanting to pour concrete in an area behind our pool and under our pool covering. It's the very corner of the yard behind the waterfall & hot tub. Up until the middle of summer last year, or so, there was flagstone there. That has been removed, leveled, framed and ready for concrete. This past Wednesday, Ben & Kelly came over bright & early to help us haul it from the truck. Thanks again guys for the help! The truck showed up at 7:15. We were done hauling by 8:20 or so. It went a lot faster than I thought it would. All that was left after that was smoothing it out. It came out great. We just need to pick out our cool deck paint & we will be finished and ready for swim season.

I helped! It was pretty fun hauling that concrete from the driveway to the very farthest corner of our backyard. And . . . I was only slightly sore in my shoulders the next day. The weather was perfect since we started out so early, it hadn't gotten hot yet.
