27th - Our 1st Anniversary

Today was our anniversary. We had a nice picnic lunch beside the creek.

After lunch we worked on stripping the third and final form. Here are the two sides of the bridge. We did not get the form totally stripped but we will have tomorrow to work on it.
We rented the excavator again and Fred began moving the pile of dirt and trees away from the forms so the crane will be able to get to them Thursday.
We will be walking across the creek on a foot bridge for the next couple of days until the bridge is put into place.

Chico

This weekend, Fred and I went to Chico Hot Springs Resort for our 1st anniversary ( a week early). We swam in the hot springs which are around 94 degrees. They also have other things to do such as horseback riding and rafting trips.

Final Concrete Pour

Here is the form, set up one last time. We put the date (2007) in the form using plastic numbers from Home Depot. There is also a conduit in the form so that I can run electric wire through the bridge and install an outlet at each end.


I was too busy to take any pictures during the pour, but it went well.

We have some nice lilacs in the front yard.
