Concrete, as it turns out, is a hard trade in which to find good, skilled workers. I think part of this is because it is crazy hard work to do well, and also because anybody with a truck and a couple of tools can 'do' concrete. On complex jobs, you need a skilled carpenter - someone who really knows how to build forms out of wood. After a lot of fruitless searching, I found a handyman (
Seth Truby) with some excellent connections and people skills, and he found a lady, Julie, who is wonderfully skilled and experienced in concrete. Julie has a business in Tuscon, AZ, but she is just starting to relocate to Portland, OR. Between Julie and Seth, we got some beautiful concrete work done.
After pouring these new retaining walls, Ken Shannon of Cascade Concrete Cutting sawcut the new door opening into my basement.
