Concrete Work


Lots of pictures to post documenting the concrete work that has been done at Pioneer House.  Here is a shot of the forms for the walkway to the formal entry on the South side.

For the kitchen entry on the North side, we are putting in a larger patio and connecting the deck and the driveway with three foot sidewalks.

A little bend in the sidewalk to keep close to the flower bed.

Here are the steps formed up with lots of heavy debris filling the middle of them.  Less concrete cost that way.

The concrete for the steps is kept a bit drier so it will keep its form better while being shoveled into the step forms.  Not your typical flowing concrete as it is for the sidewalks.

Smoothing out the walkway in front of the deck.

Working on those steps before the rest of the concrete is poured.
 



Ah, looking good!

And a few stepping stones made out of the leftover concrete.
 

The extra wide walkway on the South side.

And the finished, broom swept concrete.  Forms will come off tomorrow and hopefully we will not find too many wild footprints in the morning.
