Exactly one year, and one week of having no idea of what I am doing. I have a standing building, and 1/3 of my concrete pad .
I had 3 helpers to muck today . Good thing, because the truck got stuck in my yard from the torrential downpours all day yesterday . We ended up having to wheel barrow, and shovel a lot of material . I will plan accordingly for next time . I finished it mostly by myself, it turned out pretty nice, but a little bit of it got away from me . The pad out in the Sun, was too far gone when I tried to edge it . I was really concentrating on the floor I had a set of those stainless skids that you ride on for finishing, and they helped tremendously . Id like to think I am still somewhat in decent working shape , but at days end, that was all there was in the tank for me . Not looking forward to the next 2 pours, but now I know what I can and cannot handle I will be happy to be done with shovels, rakes, and working on the ground .

Looking good!
It is a lot of work, isn't it? Will the next pours be long like what is pictured or will they be 'halves' of what is left inside?

Looks great, lots of hard work. If you need to keep the truck far away get a price to bring in a concrete line pump, way easier then running around with wheel barrow full of concrete. I had one here a couple of weeks ago to pour deck footings, ran 120' of 4" hose around the house, easy.

Looks to me like you had a pretty good idea of what you were doing! Very nice work.

Barrowing and shoveling concrete is about as hard job as they come when building
You've earned the right to feel tired but please take it easy Good luck with the next pours
