Wow, today was a long day. The cement truck arrived late afternoon and the cement was laid on the front stoop, side patio ond sidewalk. We chose a salmon tinted concrete and it really compliments the brick walls on the house. They have just finished up and it is 10:30. It looks great!

She was still watching them, but the drool wasn’t as prevalent (plus they weren’t off-duty firemen). Too chilly for the guys to take off their shirts.
The guys are returning on Monday and pour the rest of the courtyard out front.
