Everything has gone to schedule this week, the steel work was finished on Wednesday, shuttering completed yesterday.
But today, we have made the first permanent part of our home on site. We arrived this morning to a concrete pump and two waggons full of concrete.
Filling the raft beams full of concrete is stage one of our raft:-
a close up of the beams:-
So that will get the opportunity to set over the next couple of days, which will mean on Monday, the builders can fill the middle of the beams with spoil from the site and 60T of hardcore to level to the beams. and then subject to weather we can pour the main slab on top, which will hopefully be done on Wednesday or Thursday next week.
Today feels like a massive step forward, although in real terms its not actually a big job, it makes all a bit psychological difference to us to see actual structure forming!
so a trelaxing weekend, which may or may not include looking at some flooring or bathrooms, we havent decided yet!
have a nice weekend, Neil
