Wet Curing & Golf

We are currently wet curing our concrete. This involves covering our freshly poured slab with visqueen (thick plastic, similar to garbage bags) and then sprinkling water over the top for one week. This is our current set up:





We are doing this because the first seven days for concrete are crucial for its strength and durability. I found this interesting article that goes into more detail, if you are interested.

We will start laying out the walls and framing at the end of this week! Adam plans on taking a couple days off next week to frame the house. I'll post more pictures when we start.

On an unrelated note, Adam and I took my parents golfing this past weekend at the King and Bear in St. Augustine. This was a birthday present for the two of them and we had a lot of fun. Here is a picture of my mom and me on the course.



This was my first time golfing and I did much better than anticipated. Thanks for the tips, Mom & Dad! Adam and I had a great time!
