Pouring the Slab

Just about two years after we poured the foundations for our sheds, the cement trucks are back to pour the slabs that will surround the sheds. Yes, that's cement trucks...plural. If you ask Parker he'll let you know we had ''two 'ment trucks''.

Once again, Frankie was supervising the activity -- making sure everyone was working and, if he felt the cement mixture was lacking, he would add the necessary tennis ball to the mix. (Actually, I think this may have been part of his ''fetch'' ploy.)

This time, Chris hired a professional cement finisher to make sure the end result was perfect. Of course, running out of cement would make the finishing job all that much harder. (Who would ever thought 2 cement trucks would not be enough?!)

Have no fear, the calvary is on the way. Yes, that a third cement truck! (Of course if you ask Parker he'll still say there was only ''two 'ment trucks'' since he was napping when the third truck arrived. Also, it's harder to count three trucks when the other two have already left.)

With the last two yards in placed and professionally finished, I must say, the cement slab is really nice looking. It slopes down in the middle, creating a driveway allowing, in the future, Chris to park his tracker under the cover of the (future) sheds. Now we just need to do the actual sheds. Keep your fingers crossed -- I'm hoping to have another entry on this project by the end of this summer (and not in another two years).

Thanks to everyone who helped out today!
