So, they were supposed to pour the garage and basement slabs Monday or Tuesday.  The weather was uncooperative (thank you, Cristobal) so that didn’t happen.  I decided to drive out to the property on Tuesday between meetings on the off-chance that it wasn’t raining there and there was concrete being poured.

It was raining heavily.  And there was no concrete being poured.

This photo was taken shortly before I stepped out of the car and my foot was nearly swallowed whole by the mud.

This was after 10 minutes of cleaning.

There was only so much I could do with a roll of paper towels and a travel size bottle of hand sanitizer.

Also, did I mention I was between meetings?  As in, after this I had another client meeting?

Thankfully, I had a pair of flip flops in the car.  Hopefully that is the first and last time I will wear flip flops to meet a client.

Moving on.

We had an early morning meeting with our builder today and we were pleasantly surprised how much had happened since the shoe incident on Tuesday.

They were pouring the garage slab as we arrived.

Maybe I should ask them where they got their boots…

The also poured the basement steps today.  The basement slab will be poured tomorrow.

At least I didn’t step in wet concrete…

The lumber was delivered yesterday (on schedule!) and they got quite a bit done in one day.

This makes me so happy.

This forecast makes me and my shoes even happier!
