fly ash, slag and aggregate

Manu and his sturdy team are almost ready to pour the first layers of fly ash, slag cement and aggregate mixture, otherwise known as concrete. My sister-in-law Marna asked me tonight if we could not after all host the New Year’s party on January first (it is actually our turn to host this annual event you understand) since the speed at which we are moving, may well deliver a new kitchen by Christmas! 

I am beside myself with the prospect.
