day one floor laying

Fifty bags of cement, about 30 square metres of floor laid. Half the small roundhouse, including round the difficult shower room pipework.
Jayne the perfectionist was not 100% happy with the tamping but it looked okay and well within our required tolerances. Jane and Amanda popped down mid afternoon on the quad and helped out for an hour or so - it really does make a difference. I mixed while the girls tamped.
We did have a wee shower later which speckled our screed. Hope it all goes off before the overnight rain comes in.

  1. We hung tarpaulins over a lot of our stuff Tony. Fear of Wind and rain ruining a good days work. Make a temporary Teepee !! Still if it was only a wee shower - not too much of a problem.

  2. We are concreting strips 3-4m wide and 10-12m long - too big for tarps.
