WE HAVE A FLOOR

Today has been 'Concrete Floor Day' out at the block. We finally have a slab!


A lot of work has gone into getting to this point. We are so happy to have completed Stage 1 of the build.


38 cubic metres of concrete got pumped into the slab today. That was for the actual house. The garage, verandah and alfresco are yet to be done.


Here are some photos:

House Pad minus the garage at the front and verandah along the side and alfresco at the back.

Now for the steel framing. M is going to be busy..... stay tuned, we hope to have walls soon!

Easter Update

The Easter weekend was a busy one out at the block, and the work continues to go ahead as we aim for the concrete pad to be completed. 


The house was marked out and the footing dug over the Easter break and since then the footings have gone down and the formwork for the house pad is underway. As usual there have been plenty of set backs.


M has been working so hard and has had the help of some special people (you know who you are!).


With a bit of luck the concrete pad will be down by the end of next week. Just can't wait to actually be able to stand on it!

Marking out the house!



Footings done and formwork started.

Working on form work.
