concrete


Last friday the concrete was poured for the new guest cabin. The truck came in the morning and Sarah and I got out there after a quick breakfast to take in all the action. There was a pumper truck and 2 concrete trucks that came. After it was poured, the guys came to our place for an early lunch of wraps and chips and chocolate cake. Sarah said she wanted them to come again, because "I like to look at them." It is very interesting indeed - seeing a 'house' be built.
I thought, as I watched this cabin 'go up,' that it feels like 'we' are kids buliding it, because it looked like everyone from the pumper-truck operator to Luke's crew was under thirty years old (the concrete truck drivers where older, though). And I still feel like a kid at 28. Cool skill to have, I thought, to build a house. Something mysterious has happened down at the beach. Soon I will post a picture re: that and ask for your ideas on what exactly happened here.
