Driveway before the demolition started
Demolition was interesting to watch. They now use a jack hammer attached to a bob cat that get the job done in a matter of minutes. Than they take the jake hammer off and use the claw like scoop and haul the huge pieces of cement down the long driveway and put into the dumpster.
Devin is a funny kid. He moves slower than a turtle but is very good at what he does. His father and brother work together. They are just good ole country folks that start there day at 2:00. At least that has been my experience. Both his father and he talk very slow and move just as fast. They love to talk about farming so of course once I started talking about our farming in Burlington that was opening up a lot of wasted time. The are wonderful people, but need to be prodded a little to get work done.
There will be 3 boilers that will control the heat. We will be able to turn the units off and on when it is snowing
Workers are installing the radiant heat coils. The lay a barrier blanket down first followed by heavy wire than lay the heavy tubing down that is than tired down with zip cords.
This is the completed look after the radiant heat is put down just before the 1st pour is to take place. Due to the fact our driveway is so far back they are having to pump the concrete with huge tubes to the back of the driveway.
After the pumping began they are smoothing out the concrete.

Watching them pump the concrete was rather interesting because as you can see it looks like the are wrestling a huge anaconda snake.
First additive added before the first stamp
The first stamping starts with placing down several plyable pieces of rubber than look like slate that is followed by a heavier stamp than looks like bricks. He than hand yes I said had inprints all the lines. Mind you we have a huge driveway that he will be doing this all the way down.

First step before the rest of the 4 colors are added than sealed.
You will not believe this but this is Jaxon all alone on the wake board. Clay was holding on to him but the waves were hitting him so hard in the face while he was trying to hang onto Jaxon that he finally had to let go. Next thing we know Grandpa was pulling him and he was just acting like he knew what he was doing. We could not believe it. Way to go Jaxon!!!!!!!
ided to open a veterinary hospital 5 years ago we had to sell our other houseboat to make the hospital happen. Terry always said that one day he wanted to own another houseboat and after a lot of hard work he was able to make his dream come true. We love sharing our time with our family and friends. I love Terry so much he deserves to have his dreams come true and see the family come together and enjoy one another is all I ever ask for. This boat will always have memories for all our kids and grand kids to talk about.
