Final slab

This is it, the final slab of the house (There's still the slab for the shed to cast!)


A little reinforcement

A little bit more

And keeping just one step ahead with your prep work

Results in the kitchen and dining slab. I'll go and check out the finished slab first thing tomorrow.

This could be it for 2010, the digger has gone off site, the contractors talk of nothing but Friday (the day they finish for Christmas) and the weather is due to turn by the end of the week.

We'll just have to wait and see.

And carry on

After a 2 week break work starts again.

Fingers crossed we'll beat the weather and get the slab poured on Wednesday, just ahead of Thursdays predicted heavy snow.

Building in the Winter is not a great idea.

Snow Progress

It's been a couple of weeks since my last post and theres been very little progress in that 2 weeks due to snow.

Here's the last day of work as the snow really started to fall.

The next day the site looked like this!

and then it snowed again, so walking home from site wasn't much fun.

All this has resulted in the timber frame being delayed until the New Year.

This week we are against it again to get the final slab poured before the next bout of freezing weather at the end of the week. More photos to come soon.
