And Pour we did!!

Today was The Big Day where we actually poured the slab for the Trainbarn!  A monumental amount of work had gone into all the preparation, and now we have a superb, flat, level, super-strong slab!!  The guys- Webb Concreting- did a really excellent job, really couldn't have been better!!  And many thanks to our builders Altitude 950 for bringing it all together and their encouragement generally!










The weather was perfect for the pour- cloudy so that the concrete didn't dry too quickly- and with the potential of rain tonight and tomorrow to keep it a bit cool and moist for a few days.

While it's 'just' the first stage of actual construction of the Trainbarn, it is probably the biggest and most important stage.  No turning back now!!  We'll let the dust settle for a while now before getting into the framing.  We're using normal stud timber framing which will facilitate the eventual lining etc of the inside.

No-one could be more happy or excited about a slab of concrete than I am with this one!!
