Day 2: Sept. 6, 2007

On the second day, Gary, Jimmy and Bud finished preparing to pour the concrete footer for the garage.

The first of the two(!) concrete trucks arrived two hours late. And when the guy started pouring the concrete, Gary and Jimmy said it was too dry. They told him several times to make it wetter. Each time, he didn't add enough water. They weren't happy with him, and he wasn't too pleased with them either. Everything finally got straightened out (and we got concrete that was the appropriate consistency) when the second concrete truck driver arrived.

When it's just a trench in the ground, a five-car garage doesn't look nearly as big as it sounds. We'll see what happens when it has walls, a floor and a roof.
