Playing With Concrete

Got a call yesterday that the concrete truck would be on site first thing in the morning.  We had wanted to leave our mark in the garage floor, so the kids came out to watch the process.  They were out if school half the day, but in the end they have a little more sense of ownership and involvement than they did yesterday.

Getting messy.

The backbreaking labor of smoothing it out.

The nearly finished product.

Meanwhile, Hannah & Christian were troopers.

Into the concrete we added shells and sand from Hawaii as well as wishing rocks from West Beach on Whidbey Island.  The kids left hand prints and we all wrote our initials and the date.

 

Changes afoot.

There have been significant changes over the weekend... can anyone spot them?

We have a ceiling, or rather they've begun to install the sub floor for the second floor.  A few days' pause awaiting inspection and they'll be off again.
