We poured the first third of the limecrete base slab at the back of the boot-room because that is where the batteries are intended for. But limecrete can take weeks to go off, and we still need to put stone flooring on top. I was wondering how we'd do it, but Dave suggested we just slap a few stones down now - only where they'll be needed first, as the lime mortar would go off at the same time as the slab. The first section had had five days to start to harden up, and would take the stones, he reckoned. So that's what we did. It was a bit of a stretch, but I could lean on the levelling stick, and managed without leaving any hand or foot prints!
