Concrete slab pouring
 |
| A beautiful, cool morning to pour concrete, 46 degrees! |
 |
| Notice the pumper arm in the background. The pumper truck was too large for me to get all in one pic! |
 |
| Takes a big crew to pour this! |
 |

 |
| Main living area (entryway, kitchen, dining, great room). |
 |
