Not today....

I thought for sure we would have lots of pictures of the finished concrete job and perhaps some trees and bushes that had been planted in the ground, but alas, such is not the case..........

The workers were here at 6 AM like they were the day before, and there were a lot more of them.... I counted 5 of them running around here most of the morning, and we only had two of the same ones from yesterday...  But they didn't seem to get nearly as much done...  They kind of puttered around but in the process, they managed to dig all the rest of the holes with the electric jack hammer spade.

I did witness one of the phone calls to the cement company wondering where the truck was...  It was in Spanish, so I didn't understand much of the call, but where is the truck was the first thing out of the foreman's mouth....

They hung around for much of the morning, kind of making work while they waited..  They raked the entire yard with hard forked garden rakes smoothing everything out.  They covered all the walls with plastic and masking tape in preparation for the concrete...

But it never came......  At about noon, they announced that it wouldn't be here today in time for them to get the pour done by quitting time....  even if they stayed over more....  And it was about 107 by then  so they wanted to knock off for the day anyway....  And just like that they were gone..

So if I went and took pictures tonight, they would look almost like last night's.  They said they wouldn't be back until Monday now, so we have to wait until this landscape process is complete to contemplate leaving.

I guess we are now official summer Arizonans, Wow!
