Day 39 - The House Build on Solid Foundations

BarnGirl arrives on site to be greeted by the very large derriere of a lorry; Mr Easycrete arrived with one of two heavy loads of concrete, ready to be dispatched into the beautifully prepared trenches.

Mr Easycrete arrives

Easy does it. Maneuvering lorry derriere in order to funnel the flow of concrete

 

The Barn Boys at the ready to guide the concrete into the trenches of the North, East and West elevations. It poured down the shoot very quickly with Matt and Tim hastily grabbing their rakes to minimise air pockets and to level it to required height on each step.

Mr Easycrete fires up the mixer

Chocks away. First fill

A step in the right direction

 

The bricklayer's scheduled to arrive tomorrow to lay the solid concrete blocks and bricks on top of the concrete, so cure away, please.  In the meantime, the concrete blocks get a pampering, with a blow dry under shelter!  Yes, really!

bouffant blocks

Bring on the walls!
Love
