Slab rebate

[Doc0055]

A big thanks to all,
slab is now poured. So there is no going back.
Anyway, after years of taking good info from this site. I would like to give something back. So in the spirit of this forum, I would like to document my progress. To give an alternative.

Well the boxing is off, the rebate come out great.
Lopped a tree that was over hanging the slab. Was going to use it for shade on the shed, but it was dropping too much rubbish. Would have filled the gutters in no time. Dont notice these things when the leaves fall onto dirt.
Anyway the shed should go up soon, got to finish TAFE. Cant wait, some where better than under the house for my goodies.

Just a tip, if you are using a concrete vibrator. Then you should add at least 10% more conctete, as it packs down. I was lucky that i had ordered 1/2m more. Was going to have a garden shed if DC and compressor, didnt get it as we had just enough for the sed slab.

Hi all
The frame is up and 3 of the walls went on today. The rebate worked well, the wall sheets sat nicely on the ledge, making them very easy to position.
