July 13: Excellent time to pour concrete

Weather is unexpectedly nice today for concrete pour.  At 7am, temperature was in 70's with very cloudy sky.



Bear ReadyMix concrete truck arrrived around 9am, and by 9:20 pour is well underway.  Temperature at 9:20 is 81 degrees.  Only a few scattered clounds now, however.

Ronnie is shuttling concrete from truck using Miller B-16 Concrete Bomber he rented beforehand.  Two workers are raking the concrete.  Well mainly one worker, the other is a kid who is mainly sitting down. Ronnie got off the bomber for a couple of minutes to fix some concrete that had oozed out of forms.

At 10:20, concrete surface is being leveled using a 2x4.  The temperature is 84.5.  Sky is partly cloudy casting no shadows.

By 10:30, concrete is being pushed down by worker.  Clouds have burned off and temperature is 85.

By 10:50, concrete truck is gone.  Not exactly sure when it left.  Concrete is still being finished.   Temperature is 86.

  1. Well, hurray! At long last. To me, it would be too much of a headache to continue working with Ronnie. Hope you can get him to proceed as he claims he will.
    Waiting to read "can't Help But Chisel" details.
