Rebar and Anchor Bolts
Here you can see the mammoth amount of rebar I was required to have and also another set of the anchor bolts. The bar sticking out from under the form is a ground rod for the garage electrical.

Waste not, want not!
This was the waste from the chutes on the trucks. It was quite a large pile by the time they were done.

The Guys!
This was probably the best shot I got of the guys working. It was just the right amount of light. That hose was puking the concrete out.

Screeding
The guys in the back used the "rakes" to keep just the right amount of materials there for the 2 guys running the screed. It was pretty amazing to watch.

What was that? Waste Not, Want Not?
This is what happens when you are 2 yards short on your order. :( Remember that waste not pile? LOL! Seriously though, the order was 2 cubic yards short and the 10th truck had to be ordered. 92 cubic yards total!
