The concrete crew standing in front of a concrete trailer.
It holds up to one cubic yard. The gas motor powers a hydraulic pump.
There are paddles to stir the concrete during transportation and a hydraulic
cylinder to dump the concrete.
I couldn't have done it without Jeff's help. Thanks you very much.
We poured 1 3/4 cubic yards that Sunday.

The third and last pad (5x7) is for the front porch stairs' landing.
I think it turned out the best. It's my first time for pouring and finishing concrete. Jeff's too.
I was afraid how it would turn out, but all went fine.

The master deck's pad with the forms removed.
You can see the master tub under the deck.
That's another day's project.

A close up of the front porch pad. This is for Chuck to review my work. Chuck is the
vice president of a concrete plant in the mid-west. We're very proud of him.
We'd like him to visit the next time I pour concrete.
The decking material is Evergrain by Epoch.

It's nighttime. I'm tired. Tomorrow is another day.
Note the casing and baseboard being stored on the front porch.
