The day the concrete arrived

Making the Concrete base for the Bike Shed

We are assembling a large metal shed for our Bike Project. We realised we would need a level concrete base. After advice from John, we constructed a frame which was level and then ordered some Barrow Mix concrete, which was delivered yesterday. Fortunately, Chris, and experienced joiner was there to direct proceedings. He nailed the hardboard lining which had been made the previous week which would prevent the liquid concrete from spilling out

This is a video of the arrival of the concrete, it being barrowed in to the yard and dumped into the frame. After much shovelling  and then tamping and scraping of the concrete to make it level, the job was done. Next week we will get back to assembling the shed to put on the concrete base
