Awake: 6:33am Temp 57 sleep 7+25 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
M & M Company & their equipment arrived here about 7:42am.
It took them a while to get hooked up as they had a long hose for feeding into the main entry area with extendibility to the south wing 1st, then the north wing, then the hex & then leaving out of the entry way.
This formula of Gyp-Crete requires a lot of water during the pouring process. Here is my cousin Florentz with his (225) gallon container on the bed of the blue truck as a back-up water supply; he ended up using nearly all the water from his container. Our buddy, John, like the rest of us, were seeing this operation for the 1st time ever.
Inside the house, (3) guys were coordinating their operation; (1) did the pouring of the Gyp-Crete from the long tube,
Another was communicating with the guy outside who controlled the lever to start or stop the flow of the G.C.,
& the 3rd guy did his best in using the squeegee to keep the G.C. near the top of the sleepers.
They officially started the G.C. flowing @ 9:00am & stopped the flowing @ 11:10am. Of course, there were a lot of outside clean-up chores to be done before they drove away.
After the M & M guys left, I topped off our M.H.'s pure water tank while Kathy was re-organizing some of the groceries from our Costco trip on Tuesday.
During my water works, I noticed that the crocuses are blooming nearby & the small tulips are pointed toward the sky. Spring is in the air!
The boss man with M & M told us before they left, that we could walk gently on the floor by mid day. So....sure enough, Kathy tested it & the floor was solid.
Dinner: Tuna salad with chips.
Late afternoon, I closed all the windows in our house so the G.C. would be warm & cozy during the night.
Early evening, we joined the crowd @ the church for the Stations of the Cross.
Lights out: 11:30pm.
