Hey, you're having much better fortune than Hirschberg did. Your guys show up regardless of weather.
Well, overhere people who you make a deal with tend to keep their promisses. And they better...

Anyway, didn't update yesterday but here we go:
Day 6:
So, what wintery condition didn't we have before ? Ah yes: black ice
![Cheesy :D](http://newforum.arcadecontrols.com/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)
Anyway, it's nice and fair but pretty cold. First thing in the morning (7.15) the containers with ground get removed. (sorry about these two pics, taken from behind the window).

Look at the number on that truck. Can it really be coincidence ?

The guys start placing the forms. The expanded polystyrene forms do not only function as a form but also as a nice isolation. (So yes, they stay under the concrete).

...and they're done at the end of the day. All the forms installed and wire-mesh-iron-stuff that enforces and holds the concrete. Also high-pressure polystyrene plates to isolate the floor.

Everything's ready for the pouring of the concrete.
Day 7:
It's dry and cloudy. Temperatures well above the 0 degr. so no problems for the conrete.
7.45 and the concrete truck has arrived:

It's a "pump-truck" with a pretty long arm:

Pouring it goes really fast:

Of course, there was some cool bird around who wanted to leave behind his marks for eternity:

And now.....we wait. Until it's hard enough

Not really, the guys are constructing the wood frames at their workplace now....to be continued !
