Pouring
the Slab
22 May 2003
But alas! It was not to be! It rained steadily the day before and was still
raining
on what was forecast to be a better day.
With a steady lineup of concrete trucks waiting out on the road,
Bill, from Yarra Valley Concrete Pumping, Healesville,
squirted it down to the crew with the spreading tools.
Simon and Lee Caldicott from L & S Caldicott Concreting, Healesville worked
on cheerfully in the wet.
Why wouldn't they? After all we had built a great shed for them sit in to
eat their lunch!
Next Day....................................
If this slab has any cracks appearing in it, it won't be because Jonni didn't
keep it wet enough!
With the boxing off, we can begin to get a better idea of what will go where.
Mum/Beatrice tries out the step from the entrance hall into her part of the
house.
Mum and I thinking over possibilities for the greenhouse,
which at the moment is that muddy patch in between the two large slabs!
