The pace quickens

Concrete pour days are always a little more frantic than usual. The construction guys were busy creating the final grades and putting in the last of the forms. Our crew scrambled to stay ahead with the paint. The giant pumper dominates the scene while the massive drum trucks feed it endlessly. At the business end of the hose the concrete placing crew spreads the concrete and trowels it level. Normal paths of travel are blocked. Everything changes dramatically as the smooth replaces the gravel that now lies underneath. In the morning the scene looked like this...
