July 23rd....cement is poured!






Above are a few pictures from the cement pouring today. We had a lot of help...Phil, Eugene, Louie, Michael, Gary....many others stopped by to look what was happening. Kerri, Ben, Elaine, Jim and some other neighbors helped watch to see if there was any bulging bricks about to break. It all went pretty smoothly. Phil manned the cement hose while PJ and the others made sure there weren't any pockets and smoothed out the top. There was one corner that was starting to bulge, and Phil, PJ and Micheal boarded it up so that it wouldn't blow. (I have no picture of that because I was getting water bottles filled...it was a pretty hot day today.) We now have to let the cement sit and cure.
