Pouring the Slab - 2/20/2014


Pictures are from last Thursday, February 20, 2014.  Santos and his crew were ready for the concrete to be poured at noon last Thursday, but the concrete company didn't show up til 4:00 p.m.!  (they were supposed to arrive with the first truck at 12 noon!)  And when the truck finally arrived, the pump line was broken so Santos' guys had to pour the concrete manually!  It was sort of a disaster.  The poor guys were at the job site until 1:00 a.m. finishing the slab!  We brought them some fried chicken and sweet tea, so hopefully that made the situation better...?!  Anyways, the daytime pictures below were taken at 1:00 p.m. that Thursday.  Shows the form work.  The night time pictures were taken at about, 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. that night.  Needless to say, Santos and his crew took the following day off.
