The renovation: Construction phase 1

This morning (Thursday 6th of March), the construction phase took of with a bang! When arriving, this is the view I had. A large concrete pumper, pumping concrete into the building.

It must be pretty close the largest pump available...

Workers were very busy getting the concrete everywhere, and level! Using a laser guided system, pretty nifty! The man controlling the 'hose' has this box with which he remotely controlled the complete operation of the pump outside. It even had a horn! Cool toys!


There were about 10 workers around. They did the whole floor in about 2,5 hours. WOW!

And this is the 'in between' result. Now they are waiting for the concrete to dry a little, and then get some funky looking vehicles to 'vlinder' the surface. This will result in a super smooth floor! They expect to be finished tonight at 4 AM...
I will take more pictures later today!
