"The Pour" or Who Gets Up This Early To Watch "The Pour"?

We got the Approval we needed to pour the slab:

I had decided that I was not going to witness "The Pour." After all why would I get up at 1:30 AM to drive to the farm to be there by 5:00 AM to watch cement truck after cement truck dump concrete into the ground?  Yet there I was, blurry eyed and coffeed up to witness "The Pour."  It was incredibly dark at 5:00 AM!  The construction guys who were there set up a generator and lights so we could at least see where the cement was to go.  If it weren't for the lights on the cement trucks and their truck noises, I don't know that we would have even realized they were there.
 


 
It went along pretty much as I had imagined, cement truck after cement truck after cement truck....21 all totaled (I only watched 20).


I guess the interesting thing was they used one of those cement pumper trucks so they could reach the center of the slab with cement.



Finally, cement truck #21 dumped its load at about 2:30 and headed out...


So the slab has been poured and we are on our way.  Oops, just was told the framer backed out.  So full speed ahead and STOP!
