On Thursday we had some heavy rain which was a good thing since our non-potable water storage was a bit low. However, a dry day was required to apply the cement to the already prepped patch on the airstrip. Fortunately, Friday started off very dry and the team of Perri, Jack, Tim, and Sarah were able to pour the cement. I took a few minutes to go out and check on their progress and snap a few photos.

Thanks, Joe; tough rebuild, we hear, but glad they poured cement. Nice to see the crew at work together!
ReplyDeleteYes, they kept running into problems. First there was the flat tire. Then the cement bag broke in the middle of the road between the shop and the runway. After that the bin they were pouring the cement into came off the hitch and flipped over. They hoped to be done on Saturday, but I know Jack and Perri were out there this Sunday morning making some finishing touches.
