It did rain, and we did pour a Slab!!

We hoped and prayed for rain to damp down our extremely dusty Cottage site, and we were amply rewarded!!  Somewhat annoyingly I'm away at the moment, but my wife arrived home on Friday night to find a very substantial slab where there had just been levelled dust before we left earlier in the week.  

It seems to be a Universal Law of construction that the slab always looks too small, and that is the case here too.  Ok, it is a small cottage, but I think it will look 'right' when the walls start going up this week.

This is the Bathroom corner looking towards the kitchen and eating area.  I'm please to see some water sitting on it so it doesn't dry out too quickly.  The back verandah, where we expect to spend a lot of time, needs to be built up with blocks before the slab is poured for it.  The recess around the slab is for the Hebel block walls.  Aaaagh, I wish I was there, although I'm not away for too long this time!!
