COLD CLIMATE DRY POUR CONCRETE vs. MOTHER NATURE
It seems like summer is finally here, so Ted and I (and the kids!) took a break from being stuck inside at the project house to turn our attention to something that we've been needing to tackle at home.
Let me tell you, it felt SOO GOOD to get outside, breathe that fresh air, turn our faces to the sun, and fully soak up some gorgeous Minnesota weather.
So what is it we got to doing? DRY POURING a concrete slab in front of our chicken coop! Ever heard of it? Us either..... until we met Jim and Lydia from @CajunCountryLivin. They have perfected the dry pour concrete method, so we reached out to ask if this method would hold up to the relentless Minnesota winter with its sub zero temps, and frost heaving. We put our heads together, made a plan and got to work.
We have done several wet pour concrete projects in the past and they've all cracked. We were so excited to try this and show you all that it CAN be done, ANYONE can do it, and it WILL stand the test of time!
