Out of the Ground

Last week the weather looked favourable for the pouring of the slab. A anti-cyclone moving across behind a low pressure system that would pass at the weekend. Favourable conditions for the pouring of concrete. The steel work had been laid and inspected by the Building inspector.

Tuesday arrived, the concrete pump arrived before the sun had risen and as it backed into place the light drizzle began……………… Not enough to stop the laying of concrete but not the best working conditions though I had the impression that these conditions where hardly the worst this team had endured. The pour went well. By Wednesday the formwork was stripped away, the building was out of the ground!
