3:20 am.  Heading to drop Mrs. P at the airport for a work conference.  She’ll get home to all fresh concrete!

 

 

Fresh concrete and NO damaged appendages--right?  Be safe, it's a dangerous life when the wife isn't there to monitor. :D

Things went great yesterday!  Rylee has been whooping me in the gym, and I’m sore… but we got work to do!

 

A handful of years back now, @Achto had a wonderful string of luck on the plow fields.  His wallet and phone were both plowed under, on separate occasions.  It seems the joke was that he’d have to plow naked from now on to not loose anything.  I told the boys via text yesterday that it was National get naked and pour concrete and take selfies day :lol:  Sorry @SylvanLakeWH for the :scared-eek: show…

Today, we will pour the last section of concrete.  The pool is looking so good!

 

The day old concrete was drilled for rebar to tie together with the fresh mud.  The slopes are looking amazing.  The concrete is high psi mud with fibers inside and graded to create optimum runoff in areas that need to shed water.  
 

My guys are phenomenal!  They said no food, but yesterday was a T-bone day.

When our driveway was poured the last truck left shortly before sunset, the following morning we saw the tracks of what had to have been a very confused racoon. Went about three feet across then couple feed down then several feet up the driveway exiting a bit higher that the entry point. Wish I hade a game camera out there. The tracks weren't too deep and over time they have become less distinguishable.

I have installed paver patios in my past work experience. And that was one of the major advantages to pavers unless you use the huge ones cracking almost never happens if the proper base is used. And if one does its replaceable.

Of course it's not cheap either. We always put 6" of 73 limestone base in.
