Floor Pour

By 7:00 a.m. the place was stirring with 4 different crews plus us!

The cement mixing truck dumps into a pump truck which propels the slurry through this hose. The operator poured first a layer of walls and then the whole floor.

The trowel team followed behind the cement pumper and expertly smoothed out our dance floor, and sloped it to the drains.

It took 9 workers and lots of vehicles.                

Big M, the otter of the family, immediately saw the potential for a huge kiddie pool!
 The curing process for concrete is long and loves water, so flooding a slab makes it happy and strong. For a week, the spring gravity fed through a hose and kept it wet, but when family came in from out of state, M rigged up a way to make a 4" deep splash-n-float pool. It was great (if irony) fun!
Toss in some foam scraps-I mean body boards- and there you have it!
