A little background to the following picture: the girl in the picture is me. Our family had a slab of cement in our yard that was about twenty feet long by seven feet wide and about four to five inches thick. A couple weeks ago we had a work party at our house and destroyed the cement, loaded it, and carried it to our dump. The object of this project is to hopefully have a bigger cement slab made in the same place were basketball, tennis, and pickleball can be played.
The hardest part of the job was swinging the sledge hammer to break the foundation. My brother Maxwell challenged me to take out a section of cement and I took him up on it. It was hard, and by the next day I could count every muscle in my shoulder, but I took out that section of rock! I tell you, a little grim determination can get a job done! :P
Oh, I like it, Rebekah!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteGood for you Rebekah on taking out that cement! Having done a few hours worth of concrete pounding myself I am thoroughly impressed. Even more so that you did it in a skirt! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I almost changed into jeans...but decided I'd do it in a skirt just because... :P It was exhausting, and really hot outside so I was sweating profusely by the time I finished. :P
