Happy Mother's Day

Fred had a helper to assist him on Saturday. He is trying to get the form ready for the third and final pour this coming Friday. Looks like it will probably be a go.

Here is what I got to do for Mother's Day...fish plastic out the creek.

10th - Isolated Thunderstorms

Fred and I came home at lunch today. Fred worked on stripping the form and I caught up on some sleep.

Bridge Pour

Friday, Joe and I poured the second arch.

In this picture, we have just finished pouring the concrete and are starting to place the decorative stone in the wet concrete. This goes really fast and easy since there is no mortar to mix or apply.

It looks like river rock.
After the form is removed, I will finish covering the edges with "corners" that wrap around the edges.


One more to go.
