It's 7:20pm and the concrete guys have just finished up! The poor guys were working out in the dark and cold for the last few hours. K helped them through the day, but they did the finish work alone.
This is the picture K sent me in a text at 2:15 today:

| "Check it!" |
It was probably about 30 degrees in the early evening when they were
working. And once the sun dropped out of the sky, the guys were working in the dark by truck headlights, work lights, and little LED
headlamps. Pretty amazing stuff. I watched them from the patio door.
Now they're putting the insulated blankets on the slab, and they'll let it cure overnight. K will cut lines into the slab tomorrow.
K is EXHAUSTED. She worked this morning at 7am, then left at 11:30 to come home and help with the concrete. She's overtired, but still thrilled. I can't wait till she's done with the cuts tomorrow, and then the relief can really set in. Already tonight, she got excited for a moment -- "All the boring stuff is done, and now comes the fun stuff! The framing!" And she means it -- framing is her absolute favorite. And this time she'll be building something that will belong to her, to us.
