Are these photos real time?

I think I would have waited a few days, or a week or two for the posts

They can't be real time, joints are already cut when the pour pix were yesterday, and the concrete is dry. I kept my concrete wet for a week during cure.

Still, looking forward to seeing more pictures.

Cool your jets boys,
I just had knee surgery, so there are some delayed photos, I can barely walk around.
We did keep it wet for a few days during the curing process.
It came out looking like a mirror finish, as soon as I can hobble around I will post more pictures.

We used 4000lb mud w/ fiber mixed in.
The white swirls you see are the powder from the sawing cuts mixed w/ water.

Moving right along, we had to clean up around the perimeter with the cat so that the lifts could get in and for safety's sake.
Plus it makes it a lot cleaner.

Underneath each beam the concrete is 30" deep and 4'x4' wide.

"you'll fill that up... you better make it bigger"; Things you will NOT see in a reply to this thread....
Apparently he has already filled a 70x100 before building this one.

That's a lot of concrete...everyone used to say the cost of a steel structure was in the metal.

Unfortunately, now it's a bad horse race between concrete and steel to see which can be the most expensive...

Good Luck on your build!
