It’s Pouring

The concrete truck arrives on a Monday morning. Vidal gives the sign that he’s ready for the pour to begin. Once the stuff starts flowing, the hose springs to life like a great-granddaddy anaconda.

Vidal levels the first swath.

Robert takes the next turn at pouring…

…and signals when it’s time to pause the flow.

I don’t know if this is ideal way to spend one’s first day back from Hawaii, but Dan’s in good spirits anyway.

The concrete dries quickly, before I have a chance to leave a message for posterity. How the three guys get everything perfectly smooth and level remains a mystery to me, even after Robert’s patient explanation.

The day’s work is done…

… and the foundation is beautiful. I only wish it were attached to something.
