The slab-La placa

These pics are quite self-explanatory, we did a straight pour and plan on leveling more accurately when we lay the definitive flooring. The actions were, after lowering the floor, to roughly level it with gravel and make a box for the pilars and chimmeny that go in the center (notice the air intake tube for it from the outside) and another for the sanitary in and out (closer to the wall), set the thermal insulation, then the moisture barrier (black plastic) then came the iron mesh and then the pour. The guys making it were from Moldavia and gave me some trouble since they showed up for the job with nothing less than five hours delay, so we reset the labor expenses to half (€300). This job took one afternoon/evening and one morning. Witnessing the concrete truck and pump (two trucks) extend the huge arm over the walls and pour eight cubic meters of stuff in a matter of minutes was priceless.
Final GT about €2,000

  • No big hand on it, but I am thinking of getting something cool for the protruding end of the top beam, some kind of carving, cool and making sense with the enviroment. like one of those woodcarves on the front tip of the viking´s battleships. If you come acroos such a motif, let me know and we´ll honour it to preside our house (only if it is cool enough).
    Take care dude, and come visit soon!
