1st Slab Done!

It's 19th December 2013 and the first slab of our building is cast.

Process before casting involved lot of centering work and decision making regarding how the sunk slabs will look like so that we don't have weird steps in the ceilings. We put the sunk slab over the entire kitchen although we only needed sunk for the part of it that was going to be bathroom above the kitchen.

Slab casting itself was relatively simple process considering the amount of work that went into constructing the Steel framework. Miller came with a pump, and entire slab was cast in a matter of hours once everything was in place.

Of course, we had traditional food of "chavanu" and "ladu" for people doing the slab work. Some pictures from the casting process:
