Looks grand.
I had eye surgery last week, not supposed to be doing much bending, but i only had the cement mixer hire for one more day.
I got the shed slab poured this morning, and am now sunburnt, and aching all over!

Couldnt find my edging tool, but that wont matter, and i have a slope to add to the front once the form is removed anyway.
1:8 ballast mix, 20cm deep, laying on old pavers and gravel, where the old diesel tank used to sit.
Should be beefy enough to cope with 400kg of batteries.

I had my retina reattached, after my idiot self opened a roll of polypipe for the garden and it sprang back and whipped me in the eye.
Silly mistakes always hurt the most.
I did take it easy, small batches so as not to strain myself.
Its a waiting game now. It may partially reattach or may still not heal. Currently have grey to black vision in the eye, seeing shadows and washed out colour when i take thr patch off.

Sorry to those squeamish!

Shed will be 8x4. Largest size i could get in the space without protuding too far out. Plenty of space for mounting the hardware, and for the 45kwhs already planned. Should have room for another 60+KWh of batteries if needs must, and the slad should handle it fine

Eyea are the only thing that ever makes me squeamish.
My sister is an opthalmologist, and some other optho thing i forget the name of now.
I asked the doctors to inform her of everything that occurred so she can put it into non gross format for me that makes sense, but i was told i have a belt around my eye and they emptied it of jelly, replacing it with oil. Which was enough to give me the heebie jeebies.
The bigger issue was my blood pressure which is always low, to the point i pass out often.
They wouldnt let me out of hospital until it aporoached close to normal levels following the anasthetic, for fear i redetached if i fainted.
So i was in from 8am friday morning until tuesday afternoon. Followed to the toilet each time i got out of bed.
Better safe than sorry i suppose, but you feel like a fraud taking up a bed for someone in dire need, when you dont feel ill enough to be there.

Thanks for the shed comment. I thought so. Wasnt sure if Joeboy was worried about sizing etc, with his last post?
so its nice to have confirmation from your esteemed self Nowty that it should be okay.
Its far enough away from the house, and neighbours houses that if it all goes boom, only the garden gets destroyed. Not that i can think why it would.
Bonus this morning is no cat prints in the concrete. Thats a first for me! Perhaps ours have finally learned over repeated exposure that wet concrete burns paws.
