New Driveway

Hey, hey, hey, look at that.  A mixer truck at our house.  Now that's something you don't see every day.




You can always tell one of Chris's jobs is coming down the homestretch when he pours the driveway.




Also, the dirt has been dug away from the drains, so I'm sure Chris is going to pour some concrete around them.




See?  This one too.




Even this one.




As always, concrete pours are fast paced events.
The pumper is pumping, Dan is raking and Chris and the concrete guy are screeding.
I'm just staying out of the way.




There's my fella.
In his fancy boots.




More action.




Here, I'll go stand in the garage and shoot.




Chris, washing off one of the stakes.




Hmm, a lull in the action while they watch Chris wash off the stake?  


 
In addition to the driveway, they also finished the sidewalk.




Back around front, more screeding.




What on earth are these?  Concrete skis?




A bucket of the more recognizable concrete tools.




Just in case you wanted to look at the sidewalk from this view.




Or the front of the garage.




Hi mixer driver.  He's flipping the switch to send concrete down the chute.  Or stop it from going down the chute.  One or the other.




We're down to the last few feet.




Hi Chris.




I don't even know what new piece of information to add here, you're such a concrete expert by now.




Aha!  I was right!  They are concreting around the drains.
