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.

Engine 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
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 string
Hard to steer with no diff but will be better with cab on
Need brakes connecting up as well, might go hydraulic in front
 
Today I struggled with the bearing and bearing stop placements on the inner ends of each side of the rear axle.
No room for any power tools to access inside the outer axle tube to gently open out the bore to allow easy bearing placement.
So it was all by hand :(
I got both inner bearings installed as a temporary fit in order to see if the removal of the centre section of the axle-tube had allowed the escape of "forces" to drive the two side out of alignment.
Here is a very short video where one of the half-shafts has been inserted all the way through from its own side across the gap and straight into and through the inner bearing on the other side. :banana: :banana: :banana:


 
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.

Once that perimeter casting has gone off, will you put a slab over the whole thing to create a floor for the shed?
