And thus the twilight of the great basement saga. Is seven months a record for pouring a rectangle of cement? We can finally get the basement closed in, and the house leveled from below, and plumbing, and a BATHROOM!! That is not a BUCKET! Flushingly good times ahead at Windy Ridge!
We also started work on the entry to our gallery this afternoon. My parents salvaged a few deck/porch things from a friend's remodel last year, and one of them happens to make a perfect entryway to our gallery. Or, rather, it will when Joe figures out how to make the legs all the right length. We got the porch up from storage (in the tall weeds) and ready to put into place later this week when friends can make it out to help maneuver it around. Hauling things around with the tractor and chains has its place, but not in finesse work. We've tried.

Oh boy I don't envy you all that work, been there done that, glad you're making some progress, cool photo of the tractor with the deck.
Happy dance! I love a man with a truck!
noice one....so cool to finally see things falling into place...
smells like progress... congrats on the concrete
Yea! Concrete! Rock on! Nice job with the tractor that totally looks like something that would go on around here.
Finally! How long did it actually take once they showed up?
Joe helped him prep for two and a half days, and the actual pour took about four or five hours, followed by a few hours of smoothing. Totaling about eight months, two and a half days, and 6 hours!
