Well, if it's OK for plasterers to wear stilts to do ceilings, maybe concreters should consider snow-shoes!   :lol:   :lol:   :lol:

Or high heels in this gender neutral age  :bugeye:

As for the pucks - I always used to use half bricks - the Pig Palace floors used half brick mesh supports and the pigs don't seem to mind  :ddb:

I have been using plastic ones, they are pretty cheap id you buy them a bag.

Some are that way smart than you can put mesh/rebar at two different levels.

Big day today - the floor arrives! So up early to get the animal chores done first, but not early enough - the Concrete Pump was first to arrive at 06:45 rapidly followed by the concreting gang.

First concrete lorry arrived 07:30 as booked but was a 7.5 cu M rather than the 6 cu M expected - never mind, less journey for the estimated 30 cu M that we need.

The gang was well organised  and set to with vigour - loads of pictures to follow:

The day continued with the lorries arriving reasonably promptly - Hansons had two lorries on the job shuttling from the local depot, which is only three miles away).

Lots of pumping and levelling and hand trowelling of the outer skirt :
