Rain Rain Go Away

Rain didn't stop the carvellis from moving forward with our addition plans. On this particular cloudy day, Chris went ahead with the footing and patio pour. We got the green light from the city just days before on the plumbing, sheathing, outside footings but ironically the tin had a few problems that needed to be fixed before that got approved. The rain gods must have been watching out for us.

The footings and patio slab between the two garages got poured before the rain fell and Chris had just the right size piece of plastic to go over it too. We got an extra set of hands with Nick this time around. He was our finisher for the footings and he did a darn fine job.

Getting the right pitch on the back slab is a little trickier than we had anticipated but Chris gave it all he got, but I think someone above thought differently. Apparently, there was a cement crew down the street that was working on a remodel patio job and they were looking for a place to park their bobcat since they were out a trailer thanks to the men in blue. Well, we will let Chris tell you the long drawn out story but we had space and they had tools, and Walla...we got a finished color slab at no extra cost to us.

Shhh...no one is the wiser.
