The pour
At about 2/3rds poured, the second truck was supposed to show up with the remaining concrete. It got lost. When it finally showed up, it had been on the road for 2 and 1/2 hours!! Needless to say, there were surface cracks in the second part of the slab even though I had ordered polyester fibers in the concrete. Bummer. So far, the livingroom is perfect (and the area under the stairs, big deal). The kitchen floor is going to have "character."
The threshold forms were foamed into place. I wrote on them "NOT A STEP." That worked about five minutes and then the concrete workers were walking on them. They held up, thankfully, and popped right out when removed. On the lower right is the worker's breakfast. Not shown is the beer that accompanied it.
