A big step forward today on the shed. The concrete floor went in. Hooray!!

I went for a 6" slab of 32MPA concrete with F72 mesh in it. It's actually more like 7" in the middle where the hoist will go.

These pics probably give a better perspective of the size of the shed. The concrete trucks hold 6 cubic meters of concrete and we had 6 of them in during the day. The drivers were able to back right into the shed and unload so no need for wheel barrows or a concrete pump.


It was a tight squeeze getting them in the door. We were a little worried that once they had dumped the concrete the load coming off the suspension might mean the truck wouldn't get back out but we had about 2 or 3 inches clearance at the top of the door.



The guys didn't finish till about 8:30PM. They were working it over with a helicopter float to give it a burnished finish. It looked pretty good under lights but I can't wait to see it in the daylight.

Cheers
