Outbuildings: Week 5, Day 1

Outbuildings: Week 5, Day 1

Three lorry-loads of crushed stone were delivered at the start of the day and the rest of the day was spent moving that into the footprint of the buildings and spreading that out to form the foundation for the floor insulation under the concrete floor slabs.

There’s a bit more stone required within the garages, requiring a further delivery to complete this.

Outbuildings: Week 3, Day 2

A successful day pouring the concrete to fill the foundation trenches – despite it being the first day with significant rain since work started. A Putzmeister 38-5 concrete pump with a 32 metre boom did a good job of reaching the far side of the site and the concrete plant and delivery drivers did a decent job of getting 9 lorry-loads to site reasonably well spaced-out between 08:30 and 14:00.
