Porches Prepped - Day 12

So, I am really only counting working days where there's some significant time (half day or more) or work accomplished.  We're at Day 12 now, though there have been many days here and there sitting, with nothing happening.

Today was about a half day I think.

You can see that they added a bit of fill (granite dust and crumbles from drilling our water well) and compacted it, then added welded wire for reinforcing the concrete. Our porch is about 9ft x 20 ft.

Here is our front porch/pad.  It is 4ft x 8ft .  We will probably brick/paver/flagstone in an area around it as well.  You can see the welded wire within the frame.

Another view of the front porch pad.

Here's the finished utility room pad.  It was poured and textured (for safety) yesterday, but they did some sloped fill around it and tamped it down.







So, the plan for Monday is to stain our concrete slab.  Next Thursday the front and back porch slabs will be poured.  They will eventually be stained with the same stain as the interior slab.
