With the extremely hot summer conditions it has become less than ideal conditions to pour our garage slabs. This is at least a favourable contrast to when we were trying to pour our basement slabs and conditions were too cold and moisture from snow or rain was a potential problem. We wetted the compacted fill beneath the slab so at least the gravel wouldn't remove too much water from the concrete and causing it to dry far to quickly. Here are some pictures of our all Russian crew pouring the slabs.

| The pad is poured and as it sets up will be textured to ensure it is not too slippery. When it has cured enough to support weight we will have the slab 'saw cut' as a means to control shrinkage cracking |
