This was the big day to pour concrete. Praise the Lord for sunny dry weather and 4 different subcontractors on the job site. 10 people from the concrete plant, 12 from the concrete finishing company, 1 person representing our concrete contractor, 1 person running the pump truck, and Keith, Bill, Cal and 2 other employees from Dean Ryan Homes. 29 people working to make this a safe successful pour. Again, we thank God that this could happen before the ground freezes.
