Janis lost some sleep last night in anticipation of the foundation pour. This was to be a scary day for her! I told her to take a valium and drink a few glasses of wine and she would be fine. I arrived about 6:45am with TACOS for everyone!! Janis finally shows up (quite excited!!) about 8:00am with her fossils and gem-stones to be placed at exact locations as specified by her. She methodically labeled each stone as to where it would be placed. The day before Shane, the boys and myself measured off each location and applied a rebar stake with the appropriate number for each gemstone and or fossil. During the concrete finishing process one gemstone broke, but Janis quickly furnished us with replacements! What a girl-scout! One of the anchors broke off one of the fossils and we tried to JB-weld it back on--good luck! No wanno! We even had another consultant standing by--Mr Mike Cowell with some words of wisdom and other rhetoric which at this time I cannot remember--but I know it was clever--or maybe sarcastic humor! We just stuck it back in the concrete and said if it falls out will just epoxy it back on. It was a long and hot day, but the pour went well. We started watering (Dale, Myself, and Janis) the slab to slow the cure down since it was a HOT day. At about 4:00PM, Pedro with Texas Curb Cut showed up for the control joint cutting on the right side of the foundation. We set the sprinklers up at about 5:30pm and left the water running....Dale returned later in the evening to move the sprinklers and left it running all night long--THANK YOU LCRA, and to the cheater connection made by an anonymous individual.
