Concrete Curing

Not a lot happening with the house building right now. The blocks cant be layed till the concrete has set fully (cured). The "official" time lapse is 28 days - but less than that may be OK. I told the builder not to rush.
In the meantime bills have to be paid for the digger and the stone and the steel - and the first stage payment to the builder. The next order will be for the blocks. We will need around 4500 of them - which is going to cost about 2200 euro. The weather is fine and sunny here today - Christmas isn't far away ! I have started thinking about heating and windows and waste treatment systems (no mains sewage where we are). Also roof slates need to be ordered and insulation. It's going to be a busy few weeks.
