Cement trucks arrive again...this time for garage and driveway.
Spreading concrete to fill grid lines of rebar.
Really cool machine powered by something that looks like a weed wacker. It causes vibrations to smooth vibrations quick.
It smooths the concrete even more than the vibrator. It reminds me of a rolling pin smoothing the flattened dough.
Finisher spins like helicopter wings. I never understood exactly what it did, but my guess is that is helps with the type of task the concrete was supposed to do.
The skidster nicknamed "Skiddy" was a big help in preparing the ground for the concrete. I moved dirt, poured and smoothed gravel and many other tasks. Wish I owned one of my own, because they are so cool!
This is a small vibrating machine that smooths the gravel like the other one did for the concrete.
Pad is poured.
Cutting the curb.
This is a hydraulic saw that hooks to a track and is controlled by a lever. It can move in and side to side by careful adjustment. Water was sprayed onto the saw, helping it to maintain ideal temperature and cutting power.
Walkway forms for the front yard.
Gravel poured and ready for concrete.
Pad cut and water tested. They sprayed water on to see how good the drainage is.
Concrete is finished.
