I R TARD. We did another 6 hour concrete pouring session today. It actually went more smoothly, and quickly than the last time because the kids got a couple of batches of materials ready for me, so that when I began, I just kept going, and they kept making up batches of stuff to keep me supplied in gravel, sand and Portland cement. When a batch was done, we'd pour it into the wheelbarrow, and I'd start another one.

We did 5 batches today. SirKit had changed the design a bit so that we wouldn't need as much concrete as last time, on the other half of that area behind the garage. We're gonna go out tomorrow morning to mix and pour the concrere for the last post to go under the lower deck. We're going to Paul's girlfriend's parents house for her Law School Graduation party tomorrow afternoon, so we didn't want to work too long in the morning.

When we have another nice long sunny day, we'll start the pour on the next section of 'rat slab'.

We saw Prince Caspian tonight. It was great, maybe even better than the first. It's been a while since I've read the books, but it seemed mostly accurate. And there were a few subtle things that showed they paid very good attention to detail.
