Slab Preparation
The go-ahead was given to the shed builder in February of this year and we were told there’d be a six-month wait til it could be built. Apparently this is normal across the industry at this point for some reason. So much so that we had to go with the only company that actually got back to us with a quote. Luckily, that company, Titan Sheds, has been great to deal with so far.
I’ve been itching to see something happen with it for the last couple of months. A few weeks ago we had the tree lopper in to remove the old mango tree that unfortunately was in the way no matter where we built the shed. The stump left in the ground also had to be removed since the edge of the slab would run right through the centre of it. Aaron was nice enough to take out the large root system that was left as well since we didn’t want it to rot away and leave a void under the slab in the future.
At last, this week we had the concreter come in and prepare the back yard for pouring the concrete. The pour is planned for the 20th April which is tomorrow at the time of publishing.
So far I’ve shot some time-lapse videos of the progress and I’ll continue to do so as the build progresses. Once the shed is up I’ll make a feature video for our YouTube channel so stay tuned for that if you’re interested! For now, enjoy the timelapses and see you next week.
