Tales from St Ives

Wet Slab

Spent the day helping out on our slab for the garage, pulling concrete around, rolling it, floating it, washing down, and of course as the labouror making (& drinking) copious amounts of coffee.

First pour of concrete at 8am, steel reinforcing in, second pour at 9:30 ish. 11.5 cubic metres of concrete later (& a large cheque to the concrete man) & yer 'tis being worked on with the beam screed roller, or roller striker.

Still working on it with the float as it dries, should be dry by tomorrow & they will start work on it again on Monday

Off to River Cottage tomorrow for their Valentine's Feast, can't wait
