So as promised, here are the pictures of the concrete pour. Chris took the first three, as I wasn't there when the mixer truck was unloading the concrete.
Here's the truck, on the left pouring concrete.
Here are the finishers in the concrete. I think they're in the process of pulling the rebar up into the concrete. I told you it was messy.
A closeup of the chute off the back of the truck. And the back of one of the finishers. Hey, I didn't take the picture, just commenting.
After work I stopped by to snap some pics. The finishers have the concrete all smoothed off, and have put in the grout lines. Grout lines are to control the cracking of the concrete, so that when it cracks, it will do so in the lines instead of all over the slab. That would be so unattractive.

Hey lady, why are you taking pictures of me? The things guys on Chris's jobs must put up with.
Looking down the street. Left to right: sidewalk, driveway approach, gutter. See, it does make more sense when you can see it poured.
One of the finishers working the last of the concrete. See how it's still a little rough? He'll just keep working it with his float to smooth it out.
Close up of floats. These are the big ones (I think they're called "bull floats") that have long handles for the early work. You can see one of the finishers with one in the first picture that Chris took.
Finishing the driveway approach. This guy has decided to ignore me. It's better that way.
