Swirly electric trowel thingy

I have a weird fascination with watching construction / demolition.  I am fascinated watching people do very specific jobs and doing them, well, well.  There is nothing as cool as watching someone run a bulldozer like it is an extension of their body or move 27 cubic yards of concrete with two wheelbarrows.  Yes, yes I do like Mike Rowe's Dirty Jobs show.  Hard to guess, eh?

I am not sure how long the work crew was on site yesterday as I had to leave.  But around 2 pm or so the surface of te concrete had dried to a point where they were walking on it and leaving minimal footprints.  Why walk on it?  To run the electric swirly trowel thingy.  Another neat machine in the arsenal of the concrete worker. 

Today the garage door is supposed to be installed.  Although it will no keep the building much warmer, it will cut down on the wind through the first floor as well as the snow.  When the building crew comes back next week, it should make it a bit nicer in there.
