Concrete poured.

The pouring of the concrete only took 15 - 20mins, however the preparation involved before the concrete arrived was quite a task. The holes had to be 1 metre down (which is a long way down). Sure, the excavator did a lot of that work, however due to our sandy soil the sides kept caving back in creating wider and not deeper holes. In the end Con, George and Evan had to get in and do the last 30cm by hand.

The surveyor arrived checked the depth was correct and all was in order. Evan worked out how much concrete would be required and an hour later it was here ready to go. Evan was spot on with his estimation, just enough concrete arrived no extra. Con was delighted!

The actual pouring doesn't take long.
