Meanwhile, on the Sunny South, the BarnBoys Pour Concrete in Trenches of South Elevation

BarnBoys South bound concrete delivery trail

With Luke and Ashley busy building BarnGirl's foundation walls upt' North, the BarnBoys were running around with hand mixed concrete, depositing each supply into the long trench down South.



First dump - Sitting Room end

Boss Jon receiving another load - Kitchen end

Smiley Tim plays with the concrete dumper

Boss Jon rakes and shakes
On hands and knees, praying for a dry eve

Smiley BarnBoys pushing their baby buggies of concrete. Despite low res, this is my fav shot of the day!





Next day - Concrete foundations have 'cured'
Concrete foundations level, set and ready for blockwork





Inspector Walt approves work in progress



As if by magic - Luke and Ash are back to add concrete blocks


In case you're wondering.....
The block work coming from the main line of concrete blocks will eventually be the resting place of the new beams, down posts (will find out the proper name), to replace the original beams, now in retirement, after over 100 year's service.












Next stop, the kitchen, dining room and sitting room floor. 
Love
BarnGirl
