Here we go!!!!
The fun stuff has just begun!!! The boys removed some 260 16" X 16" brick tiles out of sand and muck and hauled them down to the barn to start the job. They then removed sand and soil to prepare the ground for the footer and concrete slab. Once the space was cleaned out they installed footers and then hauled in rock for the base. The last piece to the puzzle was to install wire to keep the concrete from cracking once the concrete has cured. WOW! Lots of steps to go through to get some concrete poured! Today the concrete was delivered which is the good news. The bad news is that they had to get it to the site by hauling one wheelbarrow at time. The truck could not get to the site for fear of tearing up the owner's yard. The guys were dragging by the time they got it all dumped into place. When I left them they were dragging a long board across the concrete to make sure that the floor was going to be level and found that they were going to need at least another yard of concrete to be delivered. So.....that's when I left! Phil was on the phone with the concrete plant and was ordering some more concrete to be brought to them as soon as possible. I will update you tomorrow on how things turned out and have a couple of more pics for you to see the finished product! NEXT.....check back and see what is next!!!!!
