Well the concrete is in and the base is now complete!!!

Its Friday morning and the Huf Basement team will now be heading back to Germany for the weekend. It is about 6/7 hour journey so they will get home at about 4pm today, but...... they will be back for Monday morning starting work here at 8am!!!!!

As the British concrete arrived late yesterday (it was ordered for 1.30 pm but the last delivery arrived at 6.30pm in the pitch dark) they had to work through till around 8pm under floodlights. "Oh, its normal here, the concrete is always late!!!" they said .

So, the base is in, we've upset a few neighbours who had to wait a minute or two because the concrete pump lorry had to wash down, blocking the road. And I had always thought the British to be reserved and restrained.........well not in this part of Forest Row anyway!!!!

We now await Monday with excitement as the large crane arrives together with the rest of the panels.

My fellow Huf blogger Ric Capucho in Switzerland (see link) writes that his Huf Haus has now been delayed by a week. We were both anticipating a race to the wire as to who would finish first.....I think his delay and my current schedule for the house assembly being 27th of this month will result in us finishing neck and neck.
