SLAB DONE :)

Saturday 26th September 2009 saw the pouring of the slab. 7:30am start and there were plenty of willing hands ready to go, although it was quite cold, windy with another dust storm, although not as bad as a few days ago.

Half way. Getting the truck down the side was thanks to a bit of good driving and a lot of good luck. Photo below shows how tight the fit was.

All had been clean sailing up until last (4th) truck failed to show. Steve was on the phone quick smart, but it was more than 1/2 hour before it arrived. The weather had turned really nasty with icy winds freezing the poor fellas.

The boys have smoko while Steve puts the helicopter over the slab.

The apprentice watches the drinks while the rest of the workers get back to the job

Thankfully hardly any concrete overs, but what was left Diesel used to start off my fish pond.

The finished slab 3:00pm. Poor Steve 2, was kept busy all day putting in braces all the way around, as you can see.

TOTAL  COST:  $13,891.24 including original excavation for pad and driveway.
