The weatherman wasn’t overly optimistic this morning with showers in the forecast. Nonetheless, we were all systems go as our crew planned to roughen the surface by seeding the freshly towelled concrete with various-sized stones. Ian and his crew from Accura Concrete expertly placed and towelled twenty-five cubic meters of concrete. We broke out the pressure washers and exposed the surface as soon as the concrete had set enough to walk on. About halfway through the task, the skies opened up and we experienced an unusual torrential downpour. No harm was done as the concrete had already hardened sufficiently and our crew was bundled up in rain gear. It was a fabulous day and by y our regular quitting time, the sidewalks were in place and our tools were tucked away.
