Finding Its Own Level

It is pretty incredible what a concrete layer can do. We know that liquid finds its own level right? Well how in the world do concrete guys get the concrete to be higher in one place, lower in another and seamlessly flow into each other so that when you are looking at it or walking on it you can't tell the difference in elevations.

By the way; those of you following this blog that do not live in Oklahoma , yes that is the color of this part of Oklahoma's dirt. It is red, so now you know the red brick on your home comes from our clay soil.

Look at that!  The water runs to the middle of the turnaround and then flows off to the east just like it's suppose to. I don't understand how they can get it to do that but they can. None of the water flows off the other end either including the run off from the southeast part of the West Wings roof. Of course this means that in heavy rains we will have a rushing torrent off the apartment's patio but that's okay; the original owner did a great job of water control and it all flows into what will be our pond when we get that project fixed. And during big rains we can enjoy our very own personal river.
