A couple of weeks ago, Desiree and I set the forms for a concrete pad at the lower entry door to the cabin. Yesterday, we poured and finished the concrete.
Poured-in-place
concrete projects are backbreaking. In this case, using 50, 60, and 80-pound
sacks of premix, we fed a portable mixer to produce 18 batches of concrete,
which we then bucketed and shoveled into place. The pour itself required almost
four hours. Finishing the concrete and cleaning up the far-flung construction
mess took another two hours.
We
also learned something: Desiree is a pretty good concrete finisher. Good to
know for future projects.
