This has been an education.

The insulation was laid down…

Then the polythene on top of that…

We had lunch… (look at my terrific workforce!)

Then they stood for quite a long time waiting for the concrete guys to get sorted….

Which they finally did…

And a four inch layer of concrete was spread over the lot. And quite a lot of whacking it with a bar on handles to make it flat. And then a float passed over it to make it even smoother.

And then a floor polisher came to make it even smoother.

It’s pretty damn smooth now.

No, seriously, that makes the whole thing look easy, but it was a very long day and everyone worked incredibly hard and we were all exhausted by the end of it and I very much hope never to do it again.
