Outbuildings: Week 3, Day 2

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.

Outbuildings: Week 3, Day 1

A short day, making the final preparations for the foundation concrete going in tomorrow – tidying up the trenches and marking the approximate level of the top of the concrete.

The automated uploading of the daily photo failed due to the camera rebooting and losing the file that grants permission for the photos to be extracted, hence the photo above is actually a start-of-day shot from Day 2.
