It was fairly early when neighbors started gathering to help with preparations to pour a concrete floor in the old barn that my husband has been having restored. |
And they were ready when the truck delivering concrete arrived. |
The gravel subfloor, plastic, and grids had been laid. |
The truck backed in till the chute would reach to the back of the barn. |
It amazed me how long the chute could be made. |
Then the back-breaking job of spreading the concrete began. |
First raking it as smooth as possible... |
Then smoothing it with a trowel. |
Finally the last bit was poured... |
Smoothed... |
And smoothed... |
Then it was time for clean-up of the truck... |
...and the boots! |
Lots of hard work,
and aching backs!
But a new concrete floor in place!
One of the biggest challenges had been keeping the dogs from making their foot prints in the fresh concrete! |
And in case you're wondering...
Sarah Bella is no longer doing hair!
She's gone back to college in pursuit of another occupation!
Just couldn't throw away the sign!!!
