Fun with Concrete  
Tuesday, 14 Oct., the contractor I hired poured concrete into the forms for my new steps and stoop.

They started around 7:30 AM, at least that's when I woke up and found 'em working. After a few hours, all but two of the workers left. The two workers continued to dress the concrete and remove the wooden forms. The concrete had set up enough to hold it's shape without support. It should be safe enough to walk upon in two days.

Next project is to select an iron works contractor to install the railings.

You mean you didn't run right out there and scribe BIRD IS THE WORD into the wet concrete? *tsk!*

No, that would be tacky.

Now, when I re-do the two-level terrace next to the steps in stone or concrete block, that'd be a good place for a sign.
