Pouring Cement

They removed the cracked sidewalk and widened it at our request. Here the forms are going in.
Next we had the cracked cement cut back on the side of the house. This leads to the kitchen door that Maisy uses all the time.

By this time the pile of debris was growing. The neighbors next door wanted to salvage some of the sod.

We were able to salvage some of that good dirt. Caitlin and I went into Wenatchee and picked up four new planter barrels for the dirt. We also stashed some in an empty garbage can.
The cement driver came down the back alley with this huge mixer. It was a narrow squeeze but he managed it well.

One of the contractors climbed up on top and held the neighbor's wires as the mixer maneuvered to get the correct angle to off-load cement.

The driver and contractor get their hand signals and plan of attack understood.

The first wheelbarrows went into the front corner.
