It was recently reported that May 2015 was the wettest month in USA history!
I didn't think we got a crazy amount of rain or anything, it just seemed to always be coming at the wrong times. Anyway, I checked the forecast early this week and found a mid-week window before another five days of rain is predicted. So I took the day off yesterday to rent a cement grinder to get the slab surface cleaned up a little bit.
I got started at 0830hrs and ran that thing for just over twelve straight hours. My back and legs were so sore!! However, the result is a MUCH better surface.
Now it looks like the town handyman did it instead of the town drunk. Still a long shot from a professional job, but I didn't have to pay a professional fee either. At any rate, the smoother surface will make sweeping up a lot easier in the long run.
Next step is to get a concrete saw so I can cut out the bowed sections on the first pour and clean up some other smaller sections of waviness.
Then I need to measure, drill and set the foundation bolts.
After that, things should finally start to move along at a better pace.
