The Floor Pour
35 Cubic Yards of Fiber-reinforced Concrete Slab
And not a drop was wasted!
I arrived shortly after the main slab was finished being placed. The crew then moved outside to place the driveways and door slabs.

Scraping out the last of the second-to-last delivery.
The concrete crew.
Phil, the artist, at work. This guy knows what he's doing. He also did the building's foundation last year.
Concrete delivery went like clockwork.
North driveway.
A bit much in this form, but none was wasted.
Screeding the north driveway.
Drive-through access.
Entry door slab.
The main slab inside the building was placed using a concrete pumper truck and a 4" diameter hose. Once the hose is filled with concrete, this labor-saving invention takes an amazing amount of work to use.
I had to return to the office before the slab was set enough to trowel. This labor-saving device actually lives up to the name. The blades spin slowly
and produce a perfect, smooth finish. (Provided you know what you're doing).
Answering the question "why on earth would you want to live there?"...
