And yet more pumping and levelling and trowelling ! |
| awemawson:
By this stage the concrete was basically in place but needed finessing. So that was 30 cu M delivered as ordered and we had a bit left over (a dumper truck and a splodge on the floor!) |
| awemawson:
As they were cleaning up and waiting for the concrete to go off enough to 'power float' a fifth (un-ordered ) lorry of concrete rolled up :bugeye: A heated 'discussion' ensued between the contractor and Hanson's local office and eventually lorry #5 left with it's tail between it's legs :clap: Power floating then started as did final finishing of the outer skirt Then at about 12 noon the heavens opened and we had quite a down pour - there was much leaping about covering the bit by the doors with polythene sheeting but then it cleared up and no lasting damage has been done. They have re-trowelled the outer skirt to remove the rain marks and as I type are continuing to power float. No point in taking more pictures until I can walk on the floor hopefully tomorrow. |
| awemawson:
So it's now 4 pm and the last of the team has left. They have given the concrete a final power float polish and it's come up remarkably smooth - it looks as though water is sitting on the surface but it isn't - that's reflections off the polished surface . Someone is back tomorrow to cut preferential crack slots into the slab and give it a spray |

Ever wonder why the power floater is called here "helicopter" :lol: Surely if amateur tries it. Pekka |
