A Concrete Development

 Finally, some concrete.  This part was easy, just fill up the hole.










 
This is the first pour.  In a few days (fingers crossed, again) more forms will be built for the stem wall.  That will be about 26" tall.   I won't go into aggregates, admixtures and slump here but, let me just say that our next pour will have a slump of no more than 5 to 6 (preferably 4 to 5 but, that might be to difficult to move around)  and will have some retardant to slow drying time. 

      I know concrete drying isn't very exciting for most people but, it is thrilling for us.
Rickey trying to figure out why the vibrator quit working.  And, no I have not been playing with it!
