Right in the middle of the morning PIU had a basketball game so several of us took an hour to cheer on the Tide.
I got back in time to sign the check to pay for the concrete. Now it is paid for and ready to pour.
That pumper could pour that concrete pretty quickly. The guys had to work fast to get it smoothed
Robin has the water hose ready to go to keep the concrete moist
Ben and Everly give it a nice smooth finish
Joyce and Courage watch as the guys make sure the rocks all are pushed down through the concrete and we get it smooth.
Watching the tandem parachuters come down was also very interesting.
We were thankful that Paul donated a whole day on Saturday to get the concrete poured correctly
The pumper truck poured most of the driveway but could not fit into the gate to pour the end of it and connect it to the road.
The guys got a little extra time to prepare the last part of the driveway for the rest of the cement
Eventually the new truck showed up for the last part of the pour
The driveway was connected up to the paved road outside the gate.
The concrete was worked with care
The job was almost done!
It's done! Now we wait 24 hours for it to dry - a week before heavy trucks can drive on it.

Wow!
When does the PIU skateboard club start?
Seriously, a great improvement.
This is very exciting. Can't wait to see it when I am there this summer. Lots of good changes in the last 3 years.
