It's been about a month since we did our very first (of many to come) dry pour slabs, something we've never done before, and we were not fully prepared for the wrath Mother Nature unhinged on our project.
We were SO upset that our finish was not perfect and we weren't able to do this method the justice it deserves, but as in all things, God had a plan. One messed up slab has turned into the beginning of a lifelong friendship with Jim and Lydia from @CajunCountryLivin. We are so thankful for their willingness to share this method of pouring concrete with us and the world, to give people the confidence to be able to think outside the box, go against the grain and DIY the heck out of whatever concrete project you can muster up.
We had SO MUCH FUN with Jim, Lydia and Lady and are so grateful came up and helped us get this project done! Not a bit of it felt like actual work, and we are already looking forward to the next project to tackle together.. maybe down in Cajun Country!
Big shoutout to Ladly for being the cutest butterfly transporter, Finley for filming and keeping Ladly entertained, and CJ for helping with all the odd jobs and the extra camera angles he filmed for us!
