The new slab

After finalising the dimensions and orientation I was ready to box up the slab in preparation for the pour in early November. Rob spent a couple of hours with me boxing it all up. Accuracy was extremely important and I had a great concreter mate who was very particular with his work. After the boxing, we had to put the work on hold while we travelled to Paris (see other blog). Once we returned, the footings were carefully placed and concreted in, the rock and reo was laid and we organised the concrete pour. Helpers for the morning were Rob, Lach, Cal, Denis and myself. A big mornings work but it all went to plan and the end result was just perfect. We were ready for the next stage.
