Garage Slab

So we finally had the right combination of schedule and weather and the garage slab is done. Just in time as I have booked the framers and lumber.  

Placing concrete is another job that looks fairly easy until you try it yourself. There is a lot of pressure on the placing crew because you can't afford to get it wrong and concrete dries according to its own schedule.  Seems like four guys is good number for a large pour.

The last wet concrete is being placed. Note the size of the blue shaft that allows them to reach way into the forms.

The power trowel is used to polish the surface. A lot of gear goes into flatwork, another reason not to try this yourself
