I got everything repaired but weather has been killing me. Rain, thunderstorms and high winds. Hoping for a break this coming week so I can get my floor put in.

I pulled it out with the tractor. It was not damaged but a fitting was missing. Took the installer a while to get the jnlet fitting and he installed it a week ago. This past weekend i put 400 gallons of water in it. I hope that was enough with all this rain we have been having

Time for an update. I finally caught a break. The 400 gallons of water I put inthe septic tank was enough to keep it in place,even with 10 inches of rain in a week and a half. I finally got the call and was told that Cement was scheduled for Today.....Thursday. I didn't want to waste the trip or a day off so I loaded up a Uhaul and drove it to our new house that we are renting near my farm last night and we got about half of our household moved.
This morning bright and early the trucks started rolling up to the homesite and buy 7:15 the first truck was pouring into the pump truck.

Not sure how but there was a frog in the cement. He didn’t do well.

To answer some questions I know are going to come, They are coming tomorrow to cut lines in the spots my architect indicated. I asked about raising the wire mesh and he said we don't need to it was mostly to give me a place to fasten the pex. I trust his judgement. We had talked about staining the cement and about getting it polished and sealed. It is so smooth that we don't for-see the need to have it polished. And that is a good thing because prices we were told are insane. Once it has dried and we can test some waxes or sealants we will decide if we need stain, but I'm thinking we won't.
It was a fine tuned machine with many moving parts. 41 yds of concrete. lots of aggregate, contrary to what I had read about pumped cement. This is a huge monkey to get off my back and now I get to obsess about everything else. I'm exhausted and I didn't do anything today's except stroke a few checks.
