Basement Concrete

We got our basement concrete!! Finally the basement looks like a basement, well other than the fact the roof is way higher than our previous house.  We cut a hole in the floor at the front door and the framers and concrete finisher made a nice ramp to pour the concrete down.  It wasn't quite high tech but saved us a pile of money for the truck with a pump on it.  Although the finishers were not to pleased as they had to move all the concrete with a wheelbarrow! The pour itself took about 2-3 hours and then the finishers came back in the evening to smooth things out.  The plumbers also took advantage of the lights the concrete guys set up and did all the gas lines.

Hopefully the concrete doesn't come right now!

Looks good!
