We drove up to the property at 7:30 this morning excited to see how all this was going to work today. I was shocked to see this huge machine haunched down on all four legs like something ready for battle. I never knew there was equipment like this, but I have never built a house either! The pump was waiting and ready to pour the concrete on the balcony as soon as the cement truck arrived. The concrete pump operator wears a special remote control panel around his waist to maneuver the heavy machine nozzle. The concrete men completed the balcony job quickly. Then the cement truck pulled around the back of the house to fill the small outside patio. The whole job was complete before noon. However, Paul spent the next seven hours on the balcony lightly spraying it with water after the cement job was done. He did this to help keep the concrete from cracking. He has had a long hot day. Thank you Paul.

Pretty cool. Love watching the progress of your house going up. This has been most enjoyable. Of course, I'm just looking in and you're living it. Looks like you had beautiful blue skies today. We did too. love kas
