After more interupions with rain, the slab is finally poured.

We are now 4 to 6 weeks behind because of the rain, Dave had hoped to have the frame up by now

.Because we plan to have most of the concrete slab polished, we spent a lot of time looking at polished concrete floors and concrete mixes. We finally settled on  a mix of one third river sand and two thirds 7mm Pyramid Hill granite with a tiny amount of 7mm  blue stone and using the standard gray cement.

It was fantastic to see the slab poured, it was a frantic job, they had to work quickly as there is more cement (it sets quickly) in a slab that is being polished.
