Mmm this looks like more than a back porch system Ryan, maybe it needs a thread of its own. Will be watching this one as it progresses. I love new projects.

Are you working on this full time?
If not, you sure could use a friends help. That is tough work if you are an old man like me. And if you still got some youth power, then God bless you, go at it, and make it happen.

No Zubin, I work so I'm doing this afterwards or on weekends. I took the day off today to lay the concrete...10 cubic yards on the way! Can't wait to wheelbarrow this stuff!! Wooooo!!

Tying 4' rebar squares right now and the truck will be here by 1.
Told my wife to bring home Togo food from our favorite Mexican place tonight b/c I foresee me being dead by then :)

Ok Ryan, I'm seconding the recommendation that you start a new thread for your new project here. Put a link to the new thread in here and a link back to this one in the new thread but your new project is going to be worth it's own Title I think, no longer a backporch system.
But I think you may be too brain dead to manage it by the end of the day so we might need to remind you again.

Good God All Mighty, 10 cubic yards. Are they going to level it of for you, or you are on your own?
concrete work can be tough on the back when pushing the leveler on the top, so watch out and take care if you are on your own. And rubber gloves would save the skin!!
I know new pictures will come soon.

Well... For now I kind of like it hiding away in the back of this thread b/c I don't really have the time to post every detail about everything. I just want to post a few pics every now and then to show how I'm progressing :). Just waaaay to much going on right now.

The concrete is in, finished nice and now hard as a rock. Had one of the best drivers I've ever worked with and he was extremely helpful. I can now say I am a expert at tying/making rebar cages...which I truly hated doing but... Very fulfilling after the fact. I took pics but I have to leave for work so I will put them up in the next few days.

Woot
