They are pouring the concrete floor of the shed today. It wasn't supposed to happen until Thursday but the cement trucks were available today, so today it is. I have always used cement and concrete interchangeably, but in looking it up today, I realised that was incorrect.
"A cement is a binder, a chemical substance used for construction that sets, hardens, and adheres to other materials to bind them together. Cement is seldom used on its own, but rather to bind sand and gravel (aggregate) together. Cement mixed with fine aggregate produces mortar for masonry, or with sand and gravel, produces concrete. Concrete is the most widely used material in existence and is behind only water as the planet's most-consumed resource." per Wikipedia
We were supposed to get our fibre broadband installed this morning, but those guys haven't shown up yet. And that's a good thing or we'd be having pandemonium on the driveway this morning.
Oh, I can't wait: fast broadband and no more workers, trucks, and mayhem. Long may we be content with the current state of affairs. No more building!
Now, if we could just have a little rain, please.
