Week 2, Day 14 - Slab Pour

We were very excited to hear the guys over at the block today, especially when the concrete pumping truck arrived!  They worked all day, with truck after truck arriving at the site.

Thankfully, the rain held off throughout the pouring and burnishing, which was a bit of a concern for us at this stage in the construction because we have decided to go with a polished concrete flooring (unless we chicken out!).  We've been told that rain during the pouring, along with hot sun whilst curing can impact on the finish that we get at the end.  It's better if it dries slowly rather than quickly.

This will be the last we see of the builders, due to the Christmas and New Year break, with framing due to commence on January 9th.
