Concrete... check!

So the concrete is in! Remember last Tuesday when the much needed rain started...

This is what it looked like at our house...

We were halfway through the five truck concrete delivery when the rain started. During the twenty minute breaks in the rain they would remove the huge plastic tarps and break out the power trowel to smooth the surface.

It turned out great!!!

Here are some more pictures, from during and after. I'm also including the floor plan at the bottom of this post.

During the pour. These are before the rain moved in.

















David took these from the roof. Thanks!















If you don't know, David did all of the plans himself using AutoCAD. He did a great job, and it allowed us to customize the addition to fit our needs.


Here's the floor plan.

House progress...

So here's where we are now...

We have the form for the concrete in and the inspector came this morning and signed off on it.

Concrete trucks will arrive at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow.

No turning back now!
