Today was a great say for getting things done. We are almost ready for a concrete pour on Friday, YEAH!!!!
Gerry showed up to see how we are doing and when we needed concrete. It's great because we don't have to call him. He shows up looks over the site and does most of the estimates for concrete.
I was explaining to him how most of the time would be spent cutting the 10 & 15 m steel for reinforcing. He says "how about I bring over my electric steel cutter?" I was all over that even though Brian was not sure if it was needed but man was that a good idea. The guys got so much steel cut without being so exhausted they could lift a beer. The thing cuts steel like a hot knife through butter.
So tomorrow is taping the top of the walls to be poured and cutting and placing more steel. With that cutter it does not seem so awful.
Drew finished a rough grading of the driveway and it looks really rough. A lot of bigger stones so it is hard to walk on but getting rid of all that clay in the driveway is amazing.
The guys are really helping out Evan washed the dinner dishes and Brian has been doing his share of the wash-up as well. Nice.
I have discovered that I need to have music outside. It really helps me keep calm and happy, there is just something about a song that soothes the soul. When I was getting a little tired and cranky Brian sent Evan to put the music, which they had turned off at lunch, back on.

Great to have Evan here we really need the extra person. |

This is how tall the first pour needs to be at the back. It needs to be higher than the backyard. |
 |
We put one more course of Nudura on the wall to the left. |

We are getting pretty good at climbing and walking on narrow scaffolding. |

The front of the garage eventually. That driveway will be able to hold nine cars. |
