Pouring the first floor!

The boom pump truck is so tall you could see it from the bottom of Lucas Lane! This picture was taken at the corner of Lucas Lane and Switzer Road. It is a cool thing to watch!
Looking up the hill towards the house.
There's a lot that is going on during the pour!
This concrete mix was much better than what we had for the basement. Here you can see it flowing into the wall. Nick just happened to call this morning to see if Dwayne needed help with anything - great timing Nick!

Preparations for the 2nd pour

We continue to be blessed with great friends who are willing to come out and help us. We definitely couldn't do it without them!
