Habitat for Humanity, Dade City, FL - Part 2

Tuesday morning...up again at 8:00. The concrete is supposed to arrive around 9:00 am for the foundation. Don is working on the steps at the train depot. I went over to the build site to take pictures and have kind of been dubbed as "the official photographer"! The concrete arrives - almost 1-1/2 hours late and the fun begins! The foundation takes 3 loads of concrete and the guys work quickly to get it into all the nooks and crannys (sounds kind of like an english muffin...doesn't it?) They get the foundation poured and the slab for the shed when it starts to rain. They delayed pouring the concrete the day before because of the threat of rain and no rain...today there is no call for rain and guess what!

We quickly start to cover what we can with plastic which means that some of the concrete had to be walked on! Wet cement means large footprints that sink into the cement. The guys backtracked through their footprints and smoothed them over! Since it was raining, nothing more that I could do. I drove over to the train depot to check on the progress of the steps and found Don and Rick (Lew was sick and wasn't there) under the overhang still working. The steps, are quickly becoming the "steps from hell"!
