Preparing for the slab!

The kittens went to stay with my boss, Shanna and her family for the weekend. We went up to the property and did some major work.

We arrived Wednesday night (after dark, so we started Thursday morning). Clint had already started digging it out. So, we thought we totally had it made for getting the slab poured on Friday afternoon. This is a picture of the site.

The gravel arrived Thursday morning, and I was fantasizing about swimming and spending a relaxing afternoon at the lake, since we were going to have all the work done early!!!


Yeah right.



Even with the help of Bones, we realized that we weren't going to be ready for the concrete to arrive Friday afternoon. So, we made the tough choice and called and canceled the concrete. It was tough cause we continuously second guessed our self... But, we wanted it right...


This antelope decided to check us out and got quite close before taking off!!!



Well, we were super glad that we made the choice we did, cause this morning (Saturday morning) we finished getting the site ready. There was no way that we could have had it done right yesterday... It is amazing how much time and work something like this takes!!!


Here is what it looks like right now, we are going to pour this next week sometime...


I even included a picture of the pooper that we had to work so hard to get a permit for!!!
