Just another work day in the Cayman Islands though!
A vapor barrier and rebar is now laid in for what will soon be the slab for the home. Plywood perimeter forms provide the outside dimensions of the slab. With the plumbing and electrical inspections now complete it is time to call for concrete!
The garage floor is underway.
A vibrator is used to make sure that the concrete settles into all the corners. When used properly, it also ensures that air bubbles in the concrete are forced out before it dries, making the concrete much stronger and smoother.
Once the concrete is placed and vibrated Troy
It is the end of a long and labour-intense day but we have an excellent result. We will keep this new slab moist for the next few days to allow a slow curing of the concrete (to minimize cracking) and then we will be able to start with the walls of the home. Great job Phoenix !
