Okay.....We got the floor poured but was it ever cold. The coldest day this fall. -11c or more.
The concrete is not curing properly so John has been over every hour trying to power trowel it but it is still quite wet. We have put plastic on the window and door into the room plus hooked up a heater by the door and a couple of big lights to help keep it warmer.
Because the concrete was sticking in the chute Cecil put some extra water in it and it is not firming up as well as it should.
We will see how it is the next time John gets here but it may end up being a rough floor.
The water pipes here keep freezing so we have to go and turn them on every half hour to make sure they don't burst.
The power company was here and hooked up the new service today so we were also without heat for a part of the day until Brian got the wires we had run hooked up. Still nothing hooked up in the addition but hopefully we can run a few pieces of equipment now without tripping a fuse.
All we need to do now is get the parts for the doors and close in the first floor and we will be warmer.

One wheelbarrow at a time. |

We were trying to keep some of the concrete off the floors. |

Russell moved almost all the concrete. |

You had to lift the wire up a bit so the concrete gets around the tubes. |
