Concrete expands and contracts with the temperature so the day after you pour, if you haven't cut it while finishing with a trowel, you have to cut it with a saw. The purpose is to try and control where your concrete is going to crack because it always will. So, therefore, that is exactly what Ryan did after work today.
While he did that, I organized materials and swept the floors. My mom is always telling me that she is pretty sure our house is the cleanest construction site around. What can I say? I would much rather it be clena than have to walk in saw dust, over wood pieces, etc. That drives me crazy!
I was also able to meet one of our neighbors Andy, the "neighborhood inspector" as some call him. He is just a few years younger than us, but has a disability, that certainly doesn't slow him down. Ryan has known him for a long time because Andy is always over at Hamblin's and has been hanging out there for years. Ryan has mentioned to me that I would be meeting Andy any day now. However, Andy was probably a little nervous to meet me because Ryan told him that I was a boxer and that I was going to box his ears. No wonder I heard Andy ask if I was at home, but I didn't know about what Ryan had told him until Andy left. It was funny because Andy told me that Ryan was a good kid unless he was with Jed and then I better watch out. He also said that he loved to "razz" Ryan. This one cracked me up..."Ryan has a whole trailer full of toys. He has every toy you could ever want. He is so lucky!" Yeah, they are all tools for working not to mention not all of them are his. I am not sure Ryan would ever consider any of them toys. "Your house is so nice. One of these days I am going to build me a nice house." What a funny kid Andy is. I am sure we will be seeing him around quite often.
