So Very Very Sore...

What does 65 bags of concrete each weighing 66lbs carried over a 100 feet and down some stairs equal. Keep in mind that is 4290lbs or just over 2 tons. I'll tell you what it equals... It equals a body full of hurt! My knee's and forearms are so sore I can barely sit down and barely hold onto a glass!

But it's done... it's finally FINALLY done. The concrete along the pool is poured and looks pretty good. Being a McLaren... it was my original thought that it would be difficult but not TOO bad. THAT thought is hard wired into my brain though no matter the task. BUT also being a McLaren... in which Murphy's law is the family credo... things didn't go according to plan. First off, it took a lot longer then expected. 1pm-9pm. Next, despite careful measurements, I was about 25 bags off the number I thought I would need. So we had to send my mom in the truck for 2 more loads of concrete. And Lastly, we worked so long that it was nightfall and not a whole lot of lighting. Hence the concrete around the shed isn't really up to my exacting standards but... IT'S DONE! I guess the best thing that happened is that I didn't lose a bag of concrete into the pool!

Anyways... I'm sore and tired right now and can barely move. But my In-Laws and the 3 nieces are coming over for the day for a pool party. So I need to go take some drugs.

Bye All

PS. I'll try getting some pics on eventually.
