Today the foundations of our house was poured. They started pumping the concrete in at 8.30am and I arrived at the section at 9.15am amazingly they were halfway. The pumping machine was awesome to watch and they had another machine which blew out air bubbles and stuff and helped spread the concrete out. I could have watched the whole process but I got the feeling the men were somewhat uncomfortable with me running around like a paparazzi taking photos.

Floating and finishing
When I went back to the site in the afternoon the man was floating and finishing off the slab. It was the perfect day because it was cool and damp which meant Dave didn't have to panic about watering the slab at night. Bring on the wall frames they arrive this weekend and hopefully Dave will have his merry men to help him stand them up and so the fun and exciting times begin.
