I haven't posted in a while because there hasn't been a lot to post about. We've had weeks and weeks of persistent rain, and not just your average garden-nurturing showers - I'm talking sideways, drops-bigger-than-your-head, torrential downpours. Our yard has been flooded almost permanently for the past few weeks, and don't even get me started on the state of the lawn. This has meant that progress on the studio has been slow... we've had sand washed away and trenches flooded, and so most of the work has been trying to rectifying those issues... over, and over. And. Over.
However, today is a very exciting day! As I write, the slab is being poured... which obviously means some progress was made in the past few weeks - ie. filling, leveling, compacting, reinforcement, building approvals etc etc. I've decided to skim over that stuff though, because it's done and in the past. When the concrete pump started up this morning and that first glob of cement fell into the trench, the smile on Adam's face said it all. Up until this point it's been hard, dirty work but now that the slab is down, the real fun begins.
A couple of photos of Adam and Max laying the last of the reo on Sunday morning - Ben's birthday morning actually. They were so committed to getting this done that they were out in the heat doing this and missed out on a fantastic breakfast of chocolate pancakes with ice-cream, maple syrup and chocolate sauce. We weren't too concerned... more for us!
