Concrete Base

Now it was time for the base.  I used rebar to reinforce the area,  there was another piece added after the picture was taken.

Next I decided it would be better to have the concrete poured via a truck, rather than me transporting home 40 some bags of concrete, mixing it by hand and pouring it myself., So thanks to a friend in the construction business (MDH) I was able to get a truck delivery at a very nice price.  So approximately 1 yard of concrete later, smoothed out and edged, I had my slab.

My first experience with wet concrete was successful.  I lost a pair of gloves, and found new meaning for cement shoes, but still ok in my book.
