Saturday Morning

So as most of you know, I enjoy a good rain every once in a while, it's refreshing. However, when you are expected to come and help pour a cement foundation for a backyard shed using wheelbarrows and another cement slab for the side of your father's house, it doesn't quite set the mood for a pleasant experience...

They had to wait as one by one they filled up the wheelbarrows, haul it to the where the cement was wanted, and dump it to be spread out.

Here is Rob, waiting so patiently... can you tell he is having the time of his life in the rain??

Rob about to haul it to the backyard...those things get really heavy!!! I can't tell you how many times the tires went flat and they'd have to fill them back up again.

Here is my Dad, in the back spreading the cement. Gotta say, love the hat!!!

He may be 64, but that doesn't stop him from doing the work himself...

At least they had a lot of neighbors who knew what they were doing and could make it smooth. This is the foundation for the shed my dad is going to expand.

All in all it was a pretty eventful morning. They were able to get the cement poured and the foundations smooth so I would call it a success. It's not every day you get to wake up and spread cement first thing in the morning while it rains... For the record, it stopped raining about half way through and as soon as they were done and cleaning up... the sun came out.
