Yesterday, I drove up to the cabin and completed the concrete slab project by stripping the forms and backfilling the edges with soil. The finish on the concrete is lovely. Desiree did a great job on the surface, and there are no rock pockets along the sides.
As
much as I like rocks, they are not useful when they form air pockets within
concrete.
Before
driving back home, I misted the slab with water to encourage a slow curing
process, which produces stronger concrete. Although the sacks of premix say you
can walk on the pour after 24 hours, I have yet to take a single step on it.
Maybe Des can take the "maiden step" the next time we go to the
cabin.
