How Do They Do That?
I have new neighbors and they are just wonderful. They are also very busy fixing up their new house and their latest project was the landing at the bottom of the hill by the lake.
Down the tubes ...
Down the hill to the landing...
The cement truck backs up to the cement pump truck and ...
pours cement into the pump.
across the back yard ( or front yard ... on lake property they call the back the front ... very confusing after a lifetime of the front being the front :(
Here they are pouring the stairs ...
The cement oozes out as fast as they can spread it ...
Then they turn off the pump and use an air compressor to blow out what is left in the tubing ...
They dismantle my alien friend ...
and he waves goodbye as we watch ...
The cement workers finish the job ...
and after 24 hours of drying time ... there is a new landing

That is amazing. I didn't know they could do anything like that. What a lovely carefree dock and steps they now have.
Wow.
This is fascinating - and yes, applause is definitely warranted.

Great documentary Andrea. I never knew any of this, and found it really fascinating. These guys did a great job building the new landing. It's always so nice to have neighbors who take pride in their property. Thanks for sharing this. You have a wonderful day, hugs, Edna B.
Wow! Thanks for sharing. That was very interesting. All of it. I can't get over the idea of the cement managing to go all the way up and over the house.
Take 25 to Hollister
That's very impressive, you live in a great area, love your neighbours new landing!
