A floor to dance on!

Today was the day the concrete was to be poured  for the floor. Our placer was Terry and his crew. When I came out of the house at 7:30 the pump truck was parked at the curb and they were slinging the heavy hoses through a front window. At eight o'clock sharp the Western Concrete truck drove up. It was time to pump some concrete.

The concrete placing crew was all business and worked quickly.

By supper time the floor was done, hard enough to walk on without leaving a mark if we were careful. Janis I I did out nightly tour of the house on the brand new floor!

As soon as the concrete began to harden the finishing crew was busy with the trowels making it smooth.

The carpenters were busy on the outside of the house starting to put up the soffits.

Our crew was busy putting up the diamond lath in preparation for the cement work that will soon follow.

It was an exciting day and once more a great deal was accomplished! Tomorrow the roofers start at last. The soffits should be a good deal of the way around the house and Peter will begin the welding onve more.

Stay tuned...
