The concrete slab has been poured and she's a beauty. The whole day was cloudy and overcast which meant the slab avoided direct sun while it was curing.
The surface is covered in a white powder. The builder says this is salt (?) coming out of the concrete, and after a pressure clean will come out much darker.
You can see the bathrooms, ensuite and laundry have been lowered 20mm into the slab, so when they are tiled they sit flush with the rest of the ground floor.
In this detail of the slab you can see the edge insulation, the plastic sheet, the burnished finish, and a groove to encourage cracking. The slab will crack, it's just a matter of where, so you try and encourage it along lines where it doesn't matter. This line is underneath the ensuite/bedroom wall.
