LGF floor concrete complete


That's it! Floor concrete is all in place and the "chippies" are poised to move in on Monday to start the timber work. And with the new drain pipes cut open within the concrete manholes, we can keep a close eye - literally - on the stuff flowing through the pipes.

So far, everything is looking OK.
