“ let’s get ready to rumble! “ 🤗
“ Silvertop let’s pour some Concrete! “🤗
“ Then we can hike Lol! “ 😇
Yea!!!!!☺️
Concrete is actually interesting, especially for such a “Hard” subject Lol!🤣
Being born in Ohio, you soon discover that if you want to snow ski, you need to travel to the Northern half of the state.
They call this the “Snow Belt” of Ohio.
Driving to my weekend “ Ski resort” up North as a teenager, I always passed through Bellefontaine Ohio.
I soon discovered that the Concrete pavement on main street in this town was historic!🤗
Poured in 1891, this concrete street is the oldest concrete in the United States!😊
The contractor had to put up a $5,000 bond to guarantee this concrete would last for five years!😇
That was a lot of money back then, and this concrete Road is still in use to this day!🤗
Quite amazing!!!
Silvertop finished pouring his concrete, and started cleaning up…………….
“ Liz, I wonder if my concrete will still be here in 133 years! “😇
Hmmm……………
Time to hike!🤗
I passed Paul’s old log cabin. It’s hard to believe he has been gone over a year……..
My neighbors Becky and Tim, the new owners, have made a few improvements on this old true log cabin. Like the concrete in Ohio, this cabin has stood the test of time!
I hiked through Douglas Fir forests, standing tall, watching over this Mountain for hundreds of years………
Here today for Silvertop’s hike, and for the next generation of hikers that will leave footprints on this trail in 133 years!😊
Till tomorrow Silvertop Mike 😊

Not possible! No one's driving there? How can it sustain? Is it a museum? A cultural reserve?

Downtown Main Street amazing!😊
Because I couldn't believe it, I started a search engine and the first thing I found was Wikipedia, which tells slightly different details. There I found this funny looking picture because there are apparently two cement piles erected. The place has a very cementy feel to it. :-)

I even found some more dazzlingly detailed information and a few historical photos. Wow!! Thanks for the excursion! Let's cite a part of it: (the typo in aggregate is original)
"This group of pavements served as bare concrete through 1950. Main Street was resurfaced in 1960 due to a broken water main. The Court Avenue section is the oldest concrete pavement still in service in the U.S. It has undergone some periodic pavement rehabilitation over the years including 1962, the early 1990s, and 2008.
The pavement was 6 inches thick built in two lifts with hard aggregate so horseshoes wouldn’t wear the pavement. The 4 inch bottom section used 1 part cement to 5 parts gravel with a maximum aggreage size of 1 1/2 inches and a water to cement ratio of 0.60. The top lift was a 2 inch section that combined 3 parts cement with 5 parts sand with a 1/2 inch maximum aggregate size and a water to cement ratio of 0.45. Additionally, quarter inch wide grooves that were a half inch deep were placed to help ensure horses wouldn’t slip. The pavement was also cured using a 2 inch layer of wet sand for a period of 2 weeks. The project cost $2.25 per square yard."
How many parts cement to gravel or sand have you had used in your project? :-)

Years ago I started mixing concrete with two different strengths…….
Strong mix : 1 part Portland, 2 parts sand, and 3 parts gravel
Economy mix : 1 part Portland, 3 parts sand and 5 parts gravel
Then years later I had a friend that managed a concrete company……
He mixed commercially at
One part Portland, 2 to 2 1/2 sand and the same 2 to 2 1/2 gravel a much richer and sandy concrete mix😊
