Wake Up Early!

Well, we just passed the last inspection on our 'SOG'. Thursday morning dark and early, we will begin pumping concrete onto our pad. This has been a challenging couple of weeks; working with the rain, county, and other minor setbacks, but we are here now.

I especially hope that our 'anonymous' blogger will be tuning in to watch the excitement in the morning!

As Linda has explained before, the process begins with the concrete pump arriving first, approximately 4am, and getting set up. The concrete trucks will begin arriving at 4:30am, and will keep coming for a while. We are estimating 200 cubic yards of concrete tomorrow, so that means at least 20 concrete trucks!

While the concrete is being placed, there will be some workers that will 'screed' or level the concrete, others will spread it, and still others will start 'floating' it. All in all there will probably be close to twenty workers out here making it happen! They will all probably put in close to twelve hours.

If you happen to be awake, there will be lots to see!
