I don't mind the rain, or the rain, or the rain. What I really hate is an 80 pound bag of cement. No matter how good the job turns out, my back hates it. It was just under 20 bags, yes that's not even 1,600 total pounds. This ranks even lower than shoveling wet clay, on the "I can't wait for this job to be over," meter. Just add water, mix, and cement turns into concrete! Here's what the concrete looks like in its finished form. A hole dug into the ground 30 inches deep with a 6 inch tall collar, sculpted to look fresh as a daisy. The form will come off and reveal pretty concrete I'd rather shovel this pile of crushed concrete (how appropriate.) This pile was 15 tons and is actually easy to work with. The foundation walls are being constructed right now. Once inspected, the walls are poured. After the walls, backfill on both sides, then the garage floor!
I can't wait...

I hate those darned 80-pound bags, too. I wonder how many backs they've ruined. But sometimes we're just not ready to have 9 yards delivered, are we?!!
