Concrete Work

Removing the existing framing, left some areas in the floor that needed to be prepared.  (Remember, the 2x4s concreted in the floor?  Did you know that when you remove them you get a hole in the floor?)  Originally, I thought that the floor was poured around the 2xs on directly on the dirt; however, as I began to prep the area for new concrete, I discovered that this wasn't the case.

Four or five bags of Quikcrete came with the house when we purchased it.  At least one bag, maybe two, found its way in the basement bathroom during the shower installation.  That's a whole other story in itself...be sure to ask Ken about that one.

Nevertheless, I started one night around 9 mixing, pouring, and smoothing concrete.
