We bought a concrete step maker for the front walkway, so today we tested it out and made a memorial stone for in front of Sebastian's kennel.

On to the basement. For the most part, the basement is in ok shape. There are some places that are worse then others that we are trying to take care of before they get too bad. So to help us with the process we found a good deal on a small cement mixer in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Putting it together was not very fun for Keil. It came with instructions... well sort of. Most of it was actual gibberish and none of the nuts and bolts had instructions on where they were supposed to go. But I have to say, he did a pretty good job of figuring it out!

We (I use that term lightly, I helped a little - this is mostly Keil's hard work, since he does it before work in the morning) finished the first section and we are now waiting for it to dry/cure. Keil made these forms that he is using in steps, so far it is working pretty well. Some fine tuning and maybe by the time we have finished all the walls, we will have it down to an exact science. LOL

Keil started the basement clean up this morning. Throwing out all the junk left behind by the previous owner and hauling all the fallen concrete and concrete dust from the old walls. Thankfully he wore the full face respirator for that job. He cleaned up a nice spot for us to put all the tools from Command Central so we can start on the floors this weekend.
