Update

Totally pissed it down all day yesterday and Jeff was running well behind as the concrete was coming at 8 this morning. So I came home from work and said I would build the 6.2 metre tamper bar as I could not hire one for love nor money, I must of phoned every hire company in Derby on Saturday with no luck.
Jeff was getting the ground floor level for blinding with sand and that's where the night ended.
Building inspector was happy with everything but came in the morning when we asked for a afternoon visit.
So I was up this morning at 6 and Jeff turned up at 6.30 and we got the dpm down , 6 sheets of 8mm rebar down and fitted 100 meshmen castles spacers to lift the mesh 50mm up from dpm level. We also had to fit the shuttering to front of the garage which went ok, so we got done for 7.45 and waited until 8.30 for the concrete man to say he's running behind and said he would be there in 30 mins .
9.30 came and they started to barrow them down the garden and we originally worked out 5.5 cu.m but ended up being nearly 7 cu.m as there was one barrow spare and we cleaned his truck clean lol. Decent bloke as he only charged me another £100 so all in it was £800 .
We tampered the floor and it worked very well and as I wanted it the best we could by hand I hired a easy float and got it spot on. Then only for it to batter it down for an hour when the weather said there would be none ( fucking typical )so its got the weathered look now , still not a bad finished thou . I think I will put some plastic over it as the weather has given good tomoz but shit for the rest of the week. Jeff said he will get the corners up tomoz but iam not holding my breath as the weather will be on and off but it's his choice lol.

So can see dpm , meshmen castles and the steels ready for the concrete





Concrete slab layed after 2.5 hours , I also added concrete fibres to mix to stop cracking and shrinkage on the slab only cost around £50 more
