Week Nine - The slab is poured

The week starts with a phone call to say we've got a problem. The original supplier of the concrete cannot supply until Christmas Eve, another week later.


There is another supplier however who can supply this week but we'll need to go and make a selection for the aggregate given the finished product will be polished concrete. So it's in the car, head to Pooraka and choose the Salt and Pepper 10mm.




So it's full steam ahead finishing the trenching and formwork done in time for the Thursday pour. The cellar gets a lid and some wiring is put in place with orange plastic taking over everywhere.






Thursday comes and the action starts at 7.00 am sharp. 

Tight access will always be an issue

Jonno makes sure the plumbing is as it should be.






To finish the productive week off, the site is given a good cleanup, some marking out is done before the arrival of the steel framing and Clare gives her tick of approval.




And what's going on top of it? The following gives details of the cellar and ground floor layout.
