Final fabric choices and concrete
I received a final decision about the fabric for the 8 curved topped pouches. I matched the fabric up with zippers. I wanted to make sure I had zippers that would work.
Yesterday the guys did the first big deck pour. Over 500 cubic yards of concrete. It was interesting to see the bidwell in action. A bidwell is what they use to smooth out the concrete.
The guys had started at 3 a.m. and were just about done with the pour at noon. They still needed to apply some finishing product and clean up. I asked why did they start so early and it is so we are the only customer that the concrete company is servicing. That keeps the concrete trucks constantly flowing. It does cost extra to have concrete delivered in off hours.
Part of the project is to install sound wall. There are homes that are along the highway and this is what will be in their backyards. The tan color goes toward the highway and the pink is the backside.
This weekend I plan on getting a few more alteration projects done and then get back to the Harley quilt. If the rain stops and the yard dries out, the front yard will need to be mowed. Have a great weekend!

That is an interesting concept, starting early so they get all of the trucks delivering to them. That is a massive project.
Pink towards the houses, really?
we finally had some repair work done on our driveway - it's so nice to not have to drive over the makeshift ramp that i made (starting with some two by fours and adding more and more layers, till the other end of the pad buckled up and was tripping us over and over - now it's just as ugly, but much smoother ... concrete is so stinking expensive, innit?!?
