Awake: 6:06am Temp 42 sleep 6+50 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
I was putting my clothes on in the dark, not wanting to wake Kathy up when Don, the foreman from Bassett drove past our motorhome. At 6:32am, not quite daylight, a concrete truck from Marion Center pulled into our circular drive & got positioned close to the basement floor. A little later, the concrete was sliding down the chute onto the insulated foam & covering the geo thermal tubes.The Bassett boys were definitely ready.
Before we left to join our KK members, we took a peek to see how far they have gotten since I took the 1st photo. Wow! They work fast!
Ha...ha. Gotcha! They put 33 + yards of concrete on that floor; using 4 trucks. It took awhile.
Meanwhile, Kathy along with some of the other ladies, dished out a small plate of apple crisp to each of us, showing our appreciation for John's donation of these delicious Northern Spy apples.
After the KK meeting, K & I linked up with a number of our members & attended the 9:30am Children's Mass.
Back @ the BIG DIG, we talked with our builder, Bernie, & he gave us some help on reading the house ....window plans.Then we gave Bernie the paper work of all the windows that we have marked to be ordered from Matt in State College, PA. Our next look @ the basement floor was delightful: it is finished & Don is putting a sealant on it.
Don asked for 2010 quarters to set in the wet cement, but all we could find in our coin chest were (3) 2010, shiny pennies. I even called the bank in Northern Cambria to see if they had any 20l0 quarters, no luck. So Don, set! (l) penny in the workshop floor & (2) pennies in the large garage floor.
Dinner: a piece of eggplant parmesan, flounder fish, rice, & salad.
Mid evening, Melissa called: we discussed the weekend activities; IUP Homecoming on Sat. & Walk for Diabetes on Sun. We settled on a meeting time at the Foote Castle on Sat so that we could walk downtown with the Footes to be in position to watch the BIG PARADE.
Lights out: 11:34pm.
