Construction Update

This past weekend we poured the slab for our new playroom/sunroom! We had a cement truck come out and mix the cement for us so we wouldn't have to do that part. I should have gotten a picture of the cement truck because it was a huge beast of a vehicle! It was quite a task hauling wheelbarrows of cement back and forth to the patio but it only took about 30 minutes to fill it up. I thought that was all you had to do but apparently you have to "work" it in with lots of patience. I helped with the wheelbarrow part put not so much with the "working" of it as I did not have the appropriate footwear to actually get in the concrete =) darn... They made me in charge of hosing off all the equipment. I feel like we are actually making progress now and I am so excited! This weekend we will begin the framing and Shannon and his dad will be working on it all next week.
