Busy day at the site today!! Took the boys down in their PJ Suits and Gummies to watch the BIG concrete trucks! Nico was in heaven! They had set up a massive crane type thing with a big nozzle at the end ("Look at you waving your big nozzle about! You've done that before, haven't you"! Oh young MAN!!) that sprayed the concrete out to the far reaches of the floor area. You could definitely see the difference between the normal concrete and the lighter, coloured concrete. Well I hope you would, since we paid almost a couple of grand for some colour! Observe:
Laying was followed by smoothing, smoothing, and more smoothing. Meanwhile we returned home for coffee group. As an aside, I made "chocolate fudge" out of pureed black beans, honey, and cacao powder... and Nico LOVES it! Ha ha!! Today has been awesome! But I digress..... back to the site this afternoon to check out the finished job. Voila!
Whoop! This house thing is really gonna happen! Finally getting excited :D They'll keep it flooded for a while to reduce cracking, let it dry out slowly for the best finish. Can't wait to dance on it!! To Weezer's new song, a current fav in our house: "Rockin' out like it's '94... take me back, back to the SHAAAAAAAAACK!" (That's Sam singing, not me. I may have modelled it tho.)
