Concrete Slab

Today the slab went down. The crew arrived early and was soon at work hauling concrete from the truck to the back of the house.


The concrete was dumped in a U formation which made it easy to check for thickness as they progressed across the room.



We removed a window on the north wall so the concrete could be delivered inside, making the job a little easier.



Here, Al trowels the surface to get it smooth.



It looks finished but we're not quite done; still need to get the power trowel (whirly-bird) on it once it starts to firm up.



This is our view out the south windows, just like living in a "tree house".
