The Pour
6 yds of dirt +
another 6 or so that Steve rounded up around the property
6 yds of Concrete,
lots of rebar, wire mess and SWEAT.
Good thing Steve had
all the concrete tools - saved $ to have to rent them, not to count his
expertise and his crew was a HUGE benefit! |

We started at the
bottom ramp, then up between the garage & house, then the center section -
not planned that way but the Concrete truck came early (10:30 instead of
11:00am) and the lower section was all that was ready |
