When ants travel in a straight line expect rain; when they are scattered, expect fair weather

 
Although the image depicts the foundation subs scattered, within the small lots boundaries, the weather last week (with one day accumulating 4" of rain) denied us from pouring any concrete. The concrete slab (18") will have a polish finish to it and will require the use of a power screed (see image below). If rain in the forecast, the rain drops will leave dimples on top of the freshly poured concrete and will prevent the concrete from curing quickly while the screed is used.
 
 
 
Power Screed
 
With the tomorrows high of 81 and a 31% chance of precipitation, we should be able to get our concrete poured and finished correctly.  Fingers crossed!
