Concrete work is going well.  Gerry decided we were under manned and sent an extra guy to work with us.  Which turns out not to be me, I get the pleasure of bringing out water and waiting for them to finish so I can help take down the wooden braces holding up the Formadrain.
So we have the truck driver the boy who is operating the pumper truck plus 2 guys moving the hose and doing some levelling while Graham and Brian(Gramps) put in dowels and do a finer screed.
The bill may be large but It is worth every penny especially in this heat.
To think that B/G wanted us to move it all by wheelbarrow that was a foolish thought but I get a cute red wheelbarrow out of it.
I was hasty in my criticism of the boys as they both came in and helped with cleanup and made their own dinners.  That was a good thing because we didn't finish doing a final level check until 9pm so eating when you felt like it was great.
About the level we did learn that even though they give you a target that is supposed to make finding level in the sun easier it is not so.  We were better off to wait until the sun was lower and it took us 1/3 of the time and no swearing either.  The frustration that comes with trying to find the line in sunshine is probably 11 on a scale of 1-10.

This should be done within the hour and only took two trucks for the footings.

I will have to change my name here as I read  the meaning of Hause Frau and don't like it.
Maybe just
E/B
