Day 469: Concrete table above fire place

This was a tricky one. We had to fix the steel frame into place and cast the table in-situ, directly onto the polished floors. I was quite nervous!

The shutter boards was measured and accurately fastened in place. The steel was cut to the right size and placed into the mould. Finally, the concrete was carried with buckets and poured and vibrated. It looks like another success.

 The fireplace will be at the one end of this table, where the opening is. The fireplace body and chimney flue will be hidden behind brickwork. Therefore, the fire will be in a fire basket directly “under” the table, generating an open integrated solution.
