Our next trip started on Sunday. D-ski and I finished prep'ing for the first slab pour. I pitched those crummy masonry and cut nails and used a ramset to attach the 1/2" x 6" expansion joint to the exterior walls. We set a small form to preclude one small corner area from the pour. Lastly, the bar chairs are installed. - As mentioned, I hired on 2 guys to manage the flatwork pour. It was a good decision. I enjoyed being the go-fer for once. They earned their pay. They arrived at 8 am the following morning; the first crete truck was there before 8:30. Everybody was gone by 2. Slab pour #1 complete.
