On Wednesday, Cate Concrete, Keller, TX completed the foundation. With Cowboy Concrete Pumping's help (I could not get any more redneck), Cate pumped 164 yards of concrete into the beams and slab of the foundation. Virginia and I spent from about 7:00 to 10:30 PM keeping the foundations wet. I am hoping it rains in order to help the task of slowing down the curing of the concrete. Theoretically, the slower the concrete cures, the stronger and less cracks you will have
Our next door neighbor told me this morning that they saw headlights on our property last night and became concerned until they realized it was us. Dale was loading his hunting rifle when the discovered it was us. We appreicate their help in keeping our property secure.
On Tuesday, Mario Perez and crew will start the framing process. This will take about three weeks. I thought all of the thousand of people that veiw this blog might appreicate the attached photo taken yesterday.
Everything is looking good! Keep posting pictures. We need to see some with you and Virginia in them.
