Concrete gets laid!

May 29th, 2004 No comments

Well the con­creters turned up and

did their thing. If you are ever in need of some very reli­able and pro­fes­sional con­creters check out Lay­bax Con­creters. They
fin­ished up their job very quickly and with­out has­sle. One thing I dis­cov­ered is that when you get a con­creter to lay a slab for you, you need to buy them a slab of beer. A slab for a slab. It’s a tra­di­tion appar­ently. I had no qualms with this at all and ended up buy­ing them two slabs, and

hav­ing a cou­ple with them that day.

Final levelling of block.

May 18th, 2004 No comments

There was a lack of com­mu­ni­ca­tion with the con­creter and he thought we were get­ting some­one else to do the final lev­el­ling. So he’s

there today doing it for us after a brief sojourn.

Digging of concrete piers.

Inter­est­ing the way the con­creters build a slab. First the

piers go down, then later on the slab. They’ll be fin­ished the slab by Mon­day.

Initial pegging out.

May 10th, 2004 No comments

I spent the day wait­ing for the con­creter. Whilst I was doing that I

marked out where the house rooms will be, I also decided to

do some work in my office. A bit breezy though. The con­creter

even­tu­ally turned up, but only when I had gone. He ended up

mark­ing it all out.
