JACUZZI - Part one

Well we are finally getting our Jacuzzi. It should be here on August 18th. Of course there is a lot of preparation ahead of time. We had to get an electrical circuit run out back and a cement slab poured. The electrical is almost finished. Deb's brother Mark has been working with concrete for about a year and a half and he and a freind came up and did the slab. Here are some pictures of Part 1

The first steps was to determine the layout for the concrete slab.
Using string and stakes I marked out the area. I also dug in a few places to see how easy or hard it might be. I was trying to use the hose to get an idea for the walk way.

Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the electrician. He dug a 6' trench by 18" deep to bury the electrical conduit. You can see it coming out of the ground.

Friday night Mark and his friend John dug out the general area I had marked off. It was after 10pm so I didn't take any pictures. Then after going to Lowes to get wood, they started the framing of the concrete forms.

Mark on the right, John on the left. Notice the red white and blue chair, that was for the supervisor (me).

The first load of cement comes off the truck. Almost thought it wasn't going to happen. In addition to having a steep driveway, the back yard is another 5' above the driveway level. It was a close one. Fortunately the driver was extremely helpful in doing what he could to make it work.

The first of the concrete was poured. John handled the wheel barrow while Mark spread and leveled the concrete.

The slab part almost complete.

Walkway almost complete.

Walkway and slab completed.

The electrician came and finished wiring the new circuit breaker.

Next installment will be after the jacuzzi arrives on 8/18. It is being delivered by a crane so hopefully I will get some video of that.
