So you will be making your slab then?Morning all not sunny today, just waiting on 6 tonnes of ballast & a pallet of cement getting delivered.
Should be all hands on deck on Saturday morning to get mixing.

Yes my friend, just been chillin' and studying for my examMornin all.
A day of two halves. Ickle bloke inna radio reckons it'll rain layder.
All ok @My Old Landy ?
Don't overdo it Stan!
Yes, we like pictures of cement being mixed up and concrete being laid.
I did a whole thread about mixing cement on here a few years ago, making a stone faced concrete retaining wall, and putting down some slabs for repairing vehicles on and to provide the bases for sheds and water tanks. It's great fun. It's even more fun if you add in the satisfaction of burying heavy gauge reinforcing mesh.
I hope there's a mixer invited to the party .Ive not done any concrete work so im winging it lol

Drove chassis around field today, needs tick over slowing down so as I can get it in gear and also needs a throttle linkage rather than a piece of stringEngine in
Had to alter engine mounts etc and spin engine round so crank was further forward so as to tighten belt.
Still got two holes to measure and drill.
Should be driving it tomorrow
Looks like a lovely big job.Ive not done any concrete work so im winging it lol

All looks very diligent and precise. I must admit, I'd have probably just let the shape of the trench define the edges of the concrete for the below ground stuff just for a shed, rather than put boards in. Even so, you'll have a nice neat looking job.Ive not done any concrete work so im winging it lol
