Over the last couple rain affected days we have completed the backfill and compacting and managed to get an inch of blinding down on top of the backfill. We sprayed the perimeter of the backfill for termites and put down a layer of polythene.
The backfill is pretty compact now but we are treating the slab design as if it were suspended, even though the back portion of it is actually on grade. Reinforcement is a mix of BRC, 3/8" and 1/2" steel with a lot of 1/2" steel extending over the back wall of the ground floor, since that reinforcement is required for the suspended ceiling slab over the ground floor. Hopefully we can get all the steel down in the next day or so and also pull down the load of gravel we got today. We should then be able to get the slab cast next week and call dat George for Christmas.
