The Big Day

After much anticipation, we finally poured our slab TODAY!! I learned quickly that is not a job for just anyone. I truly admire the hard work these guys put into today. We certainly did not make it the easiest job for them, especially since we decided to recess the floors where all the tile will be placed. Here are a few photos from the pour today. It took 14 trucks to pour 136 yards of concrete.

Just a snapshot of the reinforcing steel placed in the beams. The picture above is the support for the fireplace.

This is the 1st truck. They started at the garage and poured the entire perimeter beam first.

This is our closet.

This is Dalton's room and closet.

This is an example up close of the recessed floors for the tile work.

This is what it looked like at 12:45 when I left. I forgot to mention they started pouring at 9:30. I will take a picture of the final slab this evening and post tomorrow. They still had to pour the main living area of the house. This picture is the third bedroom, back porch, and kitchen breakfast area.
