Day 3

Godfrey starting the cement laying with his young back! 




Drone shot... Or was Dave hovering? 






Through the back window. 
Just after they removed the chevrons. 




Three exhausted men.. 

One great concrete slab! 
End of day 3🎉







12th March 2020 Day two of laying the concrete



A small Rudy elf puts the plastic on top of the polystyrene.



His helper, cutting the grid to fit around drains etc and cover the top.


Getting the height right, for the cement tomorrow.


All grid supported, all ready for tomorrow.

Update it rained overnight!
I am hoping we don't have a swimming pool now🏊🏊😂🤣😂

Last trip to the quarry!

The Land rover was destined for the scrap yard by the end of the month (wouldn't pass another CT French MOT) , but I was hoping to get another couple of weeks out of it, but started getting some unhealthy noises from the gearbox/torque converter area. With nothing to lose I carried on with trips to the quarry, managed to do 6 and collected 10 tonnes of sand/gravel etc, now I have oil leaking out, so I daren't risk any more, I think it will just about get to the scrapyard.
Anyway here are some photos of the last trip to the quarry. 







This doesn't look like 10 tonnes.
