Garage slab pour a.k.a. "Making our mark..."

This morning they poured the concrete slab for the garage.  Pretty amazing to see it all come together like this.

Anyway, we wanted to write in the concrete... cause, you know, that is what you have to do to concrete when it is drying.  As I understand it is a law.

So, I stopped by at lunch and walked up to the slab. There was a guy smoothing out the surface with a trowel, and I asked him:

"Is it OK if I write my name in the cement?"

"Is this your house?"

"Oh, yes.  I'm Chris, the owner."

"Well, then, go ahead... it is yours."

Thought that was a kind of funny exchange.  "No, I don't own it, but I'd like to write 'Killroy Wuz Here!'".  I'm sure it must happen.

Anyway, I made the mark.
