Slab is In

The concreters poured the slab today. 36 cubic metres - lots of concrete! I got them to put zypex in again for water proofing.



They formed the step down for the bathroom on the fly using screeds. The guy would let it sit there for a bit while the concrete kind of set.



The slab slightly falls towards the centre. It does not have any fall towards the front, but it is good that any rain will pool in the centre rather than the walls.

I requested a slight upgrade to 32mpa concrete over the specified 25mpa. I'm not too sure why, but it is fairly common. Anyway, the zypex guy kicked up a fuss and so pragmatically it was put to 40mpa. I'm really hoping that there are no cracks.

The zypex guy came to supervise everything. He thought the steelwork was fine. Some of the steel was a bit high, so we ended up pushing it down a bit.
