Lab Build: Day 3 - 18/03/17

Big day today as the footings were completed and it was time to fill them in with concrete. Clay soil made the digging difficult so some more workers were drafted in to finish the job.

The concrete pumping truck arrived and set up a pipe running all the way from the drive, through the house and down the garden to the footings.However, the concrete itself was no where to be seen.

After a few hours of waiting we discovered the concrete truck had broken down. It did turn up in the end and started pumping before the next problem set in. It was getting dark.

Once again, my friend saved the day with his work lights. Might be about time I invested in some.

Until the concrete is set, no more work can be done so Sunday is a day off for all of us. On Monday, the masonry builders will arrive and the first bricks can be laid.
