Starting the Deck

Ed and his helper had the piers for the deck laid out and had started to pour the cement when I arrived to check in on Monday afternoon. As I arrived back to the house with pizza for us, the rain started to come down. 7 of the 13 piers had been poured, and Ed and his helper were scrambling around in the mud to protect their work from the rain. The helper fell in the mud and quickly departed, and Ed finished the job, soaked, covered in mud and cement, but feeling a sense of accomplishment.
