All Slabbed Up

The transformation of the area under our house continues!

I already covered the area being leveled out and the footings fitted...


The next step was bringing in a truckload of road base, and compacting it...




And then came some black plastic and sheets of reinforcement bars...



The edges got boxed up with lengths of timber...


And it was nearly ready for concrete!


Once the concrete arrived, everything happened incredibly quickly.



In almost no time, we had a slab!



After a few hours, once it was reasonably dry underfoot (although still squishy), a guy came back with a machine that vibrated it so it's nice and strong and air-bubble-free...



And it was done! We officially have a slab!


Isn't it beautiful?!


OK, beautiful may be pushing it, but it's a LOT better, right?
