Form boards are up along the south wall  the Middle of July

and Jay Jay kitty cat approves of the pit we dug for the fireplace so the concrete is stronger to support the masonry of the chimney.

Jay Jay still peeping out of the fireplace pit...

And now "The Guys" (concrete crew) are ready to push some concrete around!!    BRING IT ON!!   We did have to divide the slab in half so the amount of concrete was manageable.  It was getting too hot by noon to work much past the middle of the day. (100+)
