Yeah, it does look good. Progress Cuppa.
Living so close and feeling guilty about not catching up for a chat more often. Seemed to have sold myself as a slave to work lately. Sounds like Apollofish is the same. We need to touch base and find a time to meet. I'm not experienced with radio issues, but willing to put some hours in with you to test at some point if you want. Will give you a ring on the weekend to see when you are going to be around over the next couple of weeks.
Thanks, Cameron
No Patrol now - Just good memories!

Normally on compacted dirt with a thickening around the edge of about 100 mm thick by 200 wide depending on the engineers specs of course

As 93Patrol says. Site is first excavated, levelled & compacted, & then boxed. A layer of crushed rock is then laid & compacted & a trench dug around the edges to form a thicker edge ‘beam’ (about double the depth of the slab) when the concrete is poured. Where there has been ‘fill’ to level the slope, holes have to be re-excavated down to ‘natural earth’ where the shed uprights are to stand. An inspector from the Master Builder’s Association was required to sign off on the excavations prior to the pour going ahead.
But yes, essentially the slab is just ‘floating’ & it is the weight of the concrete which holds the shed in place.

Don't forget to keep it wet mate hose it down and cover it with plastic if you have enough or just keep wetting it. This will allow it to dry harder and reduce the surface cracking

Yeah the concreter told me to wet it down a few times a day. Today was warm, (hotter days to follow in the next few days.) & as I was wetting it down with a hand held hose it was dry in places before I’d wet the entire slab down. I went to Bunnies & bought a roll of black builders plastic for $100 & covered it with that late this afternoon.
