By August 28, insulation was inserted on top of the gravel that fills the frost walls and foundation to isolate the floor of the house from the outside cold.
Nathan, from M & M Excavators continued to work on the site. By the 28th he had cleared trees so that equipment could move around all sides of the house and had filled in the old well.
Fill was still needed around the house.
On September 1, the day the slab is poured, this leaf warns us that winter is just around the corner.
The concrete slab was poured after a vapor barrier was placed over the insulation.
After smoothing with trowels the floors of the house and the garage were smoothed very finely with a machine which reminded me of a whirling propellor.
The concrete was then left to cure for a few days while site work continued.
