Windy weather continues all week with poor surf so decided to head over to one of my favorite hardware stores to buy some cement. 33 bags to be exact. If you want to buy ready mix cement, Home Depot or Lowes is the cheapest place to go, but City Mill will match their price if you show them your receipt. Since the Red Sea boat can't go out diving or fishing, I better call the Red Sea crew to come help.
Here James and Alan began the mixing process. Luckily my neighbor let us use his mixer otherwise we would be severely hurting (Thanks Malcom). Alan is a great baker so we let him control the mix to get the right consistency so we would have a good hard crust. James got down and dirty and was the jack of all trades.
Kekoa moved the mixed cement into the form and instead of 5 shovels he moved 5 gallon buckets of cement at a time. What a great productive workout he had this weekend. Just think of it as cross training:)
Me and Crow shaped the slab to perfection one mix at time. You need the right tools to do the job and the right crew!
Final float and finish was completed just in time for lunch that was provided by the rest of the Red Sea crew. Thanks for everyones help today!
