I am sore, but I didn't die. I paced myself. I found the smallest wheelbarral they had and went to work. Toolman Dave did an incredible job preparing for the 'big pour.' The stairs from Hell were cream puffs--they were cake. Dave had constructed a real life Shoots and Ladders in his back yard. All we had to do was pour the cement down the right shoot and it went down into the right place. Brilliant.
Everything went smoothly despite the efforts of a neighborhood dog to mess up our finished concrete by playing in it. Needless to say, that dog is going to have a heavy stomach after he cleans himself up.
We ended the night with friends, wine and beer--the way a night should be ended.

ReplyDeletea tool man has to test his tools. It appears that i've figured out how to post without being anonymous. The stairs finished up nicely. the only flaw is that on the bottom step or two we put the surfacing riser finish on two thick; conquently that tends to crack as it dries. But it is only cosmetic, and someone must survive their fall to the bottom to even notice.
