In the heat.
From 7 a.m. til the afternoon.
On a Saturday.
When they all were supposed to be off work, relaxing, sleeping
For
All for us. And our new beautiful pack patio.

| They started to work on it a few evenings last week. |
I couldn't be there for the actual pour because I had other "house building stuff" to do (like garage doors and front porch columns to pick out). Also I slept in that day. Just a little...
My job was just to bring the food. So, unfortunately I did not whip the camera out until most of the guys left...Because of me being late to the party you are missing out on photos of about 5 more sexy sweaty hardworking dudes. Sorry girls.

| After it cured they cut it. |
Why do they have to cut the nice smooth concrete? Because otherwise it will crack when it expands.
I was kind of sad because it looked so nice as one giant slab...but it makes sense.

| boys finishing up. |

| Sexy sweaty dudes. |

| Tommy instructed me to post this so Faith could see his muscles... Lol boys. |

| After it's all cut. |

| Scout was the foreman as usual. |

Now to figure out where those steps will go.
Forget the steps... Do a slide, you know you want to.
ReplyDeleteboys were chatting about the fire pole....but exchanging fire with stripper..
DeleteHooray for concrete!! It is such a bummer that you can't just have a huge slab, eh? Oh well, better than cracks I suppose!
ReplyDeleteYay for free labor!!! I'm glad Scout is there to supervise while you can't! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh wow it's so great! So spacious! Can't wait to see how you decorate it:)
ReplyDeleteI know I already decorated in my head!
DeleteWhat a nice huge patio! Andy was watching over my shoulder while I read this, looking at the photos, and he gasped in alarm when he saw the dog poised to jump into the wet cement, then relaxed when I assured him that all is well. :)
ReplyDeleteScout would've been sooo grounded.
DeleteYour posts always make me laugh! "Post this so Faith can see my muscles" haha
ReplyDeleteBut on the real, your back patio is amazing. :)
that's beautiful!!! and HUGE!!! Did I mention HUGE? Seriously, you are going to have some mega parties out there :)!
ReplyDeleteNICE! I literally don't know what we would have done without the help of our friends. That is the best. It is looking good! Am I invited to the party?? I don't mind muscley men... ;)
