the pouring of the concrete

Allan Jackson, our construction guy and not the country singer, poured concrete yesterday. The cement mixer had trouble navigating the back yard but eventually they were able to fill 30 holes with concrete and Allan mounted brackets in the top and leveled them. Our son, Sam, worked with Allan for a couple summers when he was in high school and now it is fun to see Allan here with his own son working alongside him.

Tomorrow Clay, Aaron, and Ben will make tremendous progress as the wood has now been delivered (no camera handy when the flat bed truck and attached portable fork lift from Menard's came this morning!) so I will update with pictures in a day or two. I can already taste that fruit slush!
