No wacker issues today
Necessity I think. It dragged on longer than I wanted
Only got charged £20 for the wacker. I picked it up Wednesday last week. They collected this morning. Not bad at all considering the length of time.
Concrete is due in less than an hour. Very nervous. I’m doing the pour Solo. Hoping the wagon driver knows how wet to make it to help make it easier for me

Screwfix dpm. 1200ga 15x4m £28.99
Taped both halves down with dpm tape from screwfix 20m roll £6.99
Bodged together a tamping beam to level out with. 3x2 with a 3x1 to stiffen. 50mm angle iron screwed to it to add some weight.
Literally just had a message off the concrete company while loathing the above saying they are running late and won’t turn up til 6. Should have been 3. Had to cancel due to me leaving for work at 6.30. B0110cks!
Thanks. I’ll do my best. Just want to get a slab down before the weather turns. Then it will be steady going when I get time here and there.

in reality youve been bumped for a regular builder who has more leverage.......
