There was heavy rain last night, turning the dust into gooey clay, particularly at the back corner of the block. But you could be forgiven for thinking there'd been snowfall when catching sight of the block first thing this morning.
The white ground cover consisted of more than 100 polystyrene waffle pods that will provide a base for the concrete slab. The image was further impressed on me as I watched the workers cut pods to size, generating a mass of tiny foam beads that eddied in the wind gusts like flurries of snow.
The slab pour is scheduled for tomorrow...weather permitting. The forecast is for a few showers, possibly tending to rain. The skies today seemed to confirm that, with plenty of cloud cover in the photo above. But with 10 concrete mixer loads of cement booked for the pour, everyone is hoping that the forecasters have got it wrong.
