WE HAVE SLAB!

Yesterday they poured the concrete slab for the ground floor, garage, and footings for the patio columns. Now they start with the cement blocks and building the walls! This is REALLY great. Emil's guys did a fabulous job on the slab...it really is quite an art form really when done well. Here are some pics! (pics to follow...they didn't upload)
