New Sidewalk Installed




 Cement truck arrives. It was a big deal for the neighborhood kids. They were all looking out the window to see what the commotion was. A cement truck is very, very noisy!
 I thought I had these in order, but this is the poured conrete with the supports all finished.
The first day they slather the conrete with, of all things, molasses. It eats up the concrete and when they wash it off that afternoon, it becomes a pebble rock like finish.

The brown you see if the remnants of the molasses they slathered on the concrete.
 The workers beginning to pour the concrete in the prepared area.
 Waiting for more concrete for the wheelbarrows.
 Looking at the leveled area to prepa.re for pouring concrete
 The supports which will give the sidewalk a curved appearance.
Taken after all the supports have been removed. We should have done this years ago.
