We had a very cold start to today. It was -3 degrees Celsius at 8:00am. Not good weather for laying concrete, but today was the planned day so it had to go ahead. Yesterday we scavenged some steel angle from a scrap pile. I cut this down to support the opening at the front of the base.
We borrowed a concrete mixer and set to work mixing and laying ten bags of pre-mixed concrete. It all went well and by this afternoon I had floated off the surface. It's drying very slowly. I just hope the top hardens enough before the snows predicted later in the week.
I'm still recovering and cleaning bricks for the oven. We'll keep that up as the concrete cures over the next few weeks.
