It's About to Pour

Ready to pour concrete, that is. My son Alex helped me complete the formwork and install the rebar (construction lingo for the steel reinforcing bars). His specialty was twisting on all the little tie wires which will (hopefully) hold the rebar in place as 28,000 lbs of wet concrete come shooting out into the forms. Next week the concrete truck will come-a-call'n!

After all that hard work he received his meager pay; dinner at the Inoz restaurant overlooking Cypress Creek in Wimberley. Although I really appreciated his help, what I enjoyed most was his company, including hanging out with him at Inoz listening to a band play. Relaxing on a beautiful outdoor creek-side patio, watching the sunset, talking about music and school. Nice. Even better than building perfect formwork.
