I know. I have been sleeping like 4 and 5 hours a nite lately. REALLY busy on three fronts, and that doesn't include time with family, which we always put first.

Holy Crap. I haven't posted pics since March!!! Slacker.

Well, can give you a short "update" from last spring. You have to understand that the day after we put up the 16 foot rollup door, I had complete reverse shoulder joint replacement on my left shoulder. So, for a while, not much was going on.

First couple of shots are from the North, showing the new door from the outside. You can see, there isn't much concrete in front of it. What was under it was actually pitched in toward the building. I had not planned on busting all of it out, but didn't want a lot of water intrusion, so I made the necessary cuts with that hellish concrete wet saw (easy for a young man to handle, I am certain; me... not so much), then busted it all out. Some of it was 12 inches thick. Thank God they didn't put rebar in it. I hit that first piece with a 10 pound sledge about 30 times before I got a crack. I know, sounding like a broken record, but it was thick.

Next pic shows where we poured the new approach. I have #5 rebar every 10 inches going two ways. Hope I never have to break this out!

Final few pics are of the short driveway. We poured it on a really hot day. It started setting up way too quickly, but we got it finished up OK. My helper is only 43 (my oldest son's age). He said of all the things I have taught him, concrete work is his least favorite.

Seems every time I load pics from my phone to the computer, the orientation is wrong.

Last pic was of the wet cement on the approach.

Here it is a few days later. You can see that I had started forming for the next segment. I wanted a sidewalk the entire length of this North wall. Because I opted to not put in a ramp between the upper (warehouse) area and the lower (workshop) area, I figured I might need to move an engine block or other heavy item from the warehouse to the work shop. So, a nice wide (54 inches) sidewalk was in order. Besides, this way, when it comes time to side, I figured I could just drive the scissor lift down the sidewalk.

Well, I fubared that one.

Let's try again.

Hopefully HERE is a pic of the approach after it dried; along with the framing for the first part of the sidewalk.
