Slab Day

With the house taking shape and it looking like progress today my wife decided to take our Son along to the site to see if the slab was being laid. Being an almost 3 year old he loves trucks, diggers, dumpers etc and it was also a chance for him to see the house before it got to far along and to get him involved in seeing what is going on.

Armed with the little guy and her camera she got some pics

Waffle Pods....

These are shots from today when I was on the way home, I had hoped to get down during Fathers Day but the paving job I did at our current house was a bit more work than I expected so was stuck at home working away. So ducked off early from work and headed past to see form work and waffle pods as far as the eye could see

We have tradies onsite!!

So I assume the piers are complete, went down just before 12pm to do the measure and had my fingers crossed we would be under 80lm...... Had a laugh with the concreter's and then down to business, 59 holes in at 74.6lm so a minor bit of cash back but better than going over.

They told me that they did a job at Harrington Park last week that on the first pier hole was 0.9m but ended in a total of 161lm with some major depth before they hit solid ground.

Pics below, might get some of concrete over the weekend. They said the slab would be poured maybe Tuesday arvo but if not would be done on Wednesday.

Movement at the station!!

Got a letter advising we have moved to the Construction Group, gave them a call and was told we have been scrapped

Then got told to hold and was being transferred to the Slab Supervisor, he told me that piering is scheduled for Thursday and to be onsite around 12pm tomorrow if I want to verify the depth

I went past in the dark to take a look, not a decent pic on the phone, will post up more after my visit tomorrow...

I had Monday off work and actually complained to the Sales guy they better do something this week or I'll not be happy

Tile Shopping

Took a trip to the Tile Shop today to check out some ideas before we set out at choosing our final tiles and designs..... Wow a heap to choose from which I was surprised about in the Std Builder selections below are some of the tiles we like

Site visit, anything happening??

Well decided to take a trip out to see if anything has been going on out at the block........ nothing new, last time I went to the block there were some pegs (about 3-4 weeks back) that I had no idea about (One lot on the boundry and one lot not) but as I took my Dad out he explained they looked like the pegs that the builder would put in place for the tradies to measure of for the cut and fill and then the peiring and slab pour

Measured out the front of the block and looks like the developers tree will be either on or next to where my driveway will be so have requested it is moved 2m East

Letter of Commencement - 20 Days till they have to start!!

Well the Letter giving the Green Light to begin by my Lender arrived in my inbox at 4:25pm so emailed it my CSO at the builder. Gave her a call to advise I had emailed it through and told me they will now begin within the next 20 days....... YAY

Happy to be at the point we are not long away from something happening at the block
