The rest of the concrete

First the floor needed to be prepped. The slab is thicker in the middle to support the load-bearing down the middle of the floor. We dug it out and lifted the dirt and gravel over the short wall to Frugalboy, who dumped every bucket in the tractor bucket.

The concrete guys set up forms for the stem walls, the walls that connect the house to the addition. We were finally able to pass the compaction test after several tries, despite the fact that we didn't change anything. I think the guy who did the testing was incompetent.


The pumper truck and concrete came about 7 am.

They started pouring and smoothing.







Before he started smoothing, I asked him how he planned on getting out. He stood in the window well to finish.
