After the concrete pour, I had some lunch then returned to observe the finishing. Chris mentioned that it would be helicoptered which I took to not mean that a helicopter would fly over to dry things off.

I arrived at smoko time, so there is no activity here. This is
the view from the back of the master bedroom, looking north.
The surface here has been smoothed by the first of the two
helicopters, the blades of which appeared to be spinning faster
than the second one.
Both helicopters in operation, now that smoko is over. The left
hand one is the slower rotating one, and also has an assistant
to smooth out the areas such as corners where a round object cannot
reach.
The slow, final finish operation in bedroom 4.
This is a close up of the floor at the northern end of the family
room. This is the unfinished section, i.e. the helicopters have
not visited yet! Pretty good for just a hand finish and level by eye.
The first helicopter working on the kitchen area, as the afternoon
progresses. And not long before the dew will start descending.
Fortunately, no rain is forecast. (And none fell, either!).
Looking north west from the south east corner. Bedroom 4 is on the
right, bedroom 3 on the left. The second helicopter is performing
the final finish on the dining room floor.
From the same location as above, but looking more north over the
WC and bathroom. That area is left with a broom sweep, as there
will be tiles placed here too. But the presence of moisture is
more likely, so the rougher surface gives better grip.
