It wasn’t until I stepped back to admire my work that I realized….

The moment of truth., rather, because it took a bit of time.

So we got all set up to mix our cement and pour it quickly before it started setting.We had a good corded drill ready to go, a mixing wand, and a big bucket all set up in the basement.We started mixing and everything seemed to be going well.

For about 14 seconds.then the drill started smoking.

This was when we were on our first bag of cement and we had 5 more to go.

We did end up getting through it all, thankfully, but the whole time we were wondering if the drill would just die and leave us with a half a floor, or blow up in our faces.I feel like I can think more clearly and I just feel more prepared for anything that life can throw at me.

It’s amazing what a little extra space can do!.If you’re thinking that it might be dumpster rental time for you soon too, here are some tips that we learned:.

-Call a few different companies and get their prices.Go with someone who can give you a price as soon as you call and arrange to have it at your place within a few days.
