The Trusses are Up

Things are coming along great. The trusses are on and the frame is complete. Can't wait for the next phase!!

Framed

The frame has started to go up! Unfortunately it doesn't quite match the plans but we have pointed this out to Adenbrook and they are supposed to be rectifying this. Also one of the vertical supports of the brand new retaining wall has a split down it and is coming away from the wall. It's a little disappointing and i just want to say "hey, we don't have the time to be checking up on your work" but in the grand scheme of things both problems are minor and there is plenty of time to fix them. Let's see what happens...

Daylight

Just a couple of pictures of the slab during the day - as you can see in one of them our frame has also been delivered and is due to be completed by September 12.. Yipee!

GO!

A late night visit to our block revealed the slab that was laid today!

Ready, set...

Todays update comes courtesy of Ricci and his camera - thanks Ricci!

Looks like we are just about ready to have our slab poured - woo! We will finally be able to see exactly were the house is going and how much spacewe will have. Good times indeed. I don't think ive ever been so keen to get a bill

:)

The Slush

We are supposed to be in a drought. Anyone wanting to know where the water is, see our block. The slab is booked for Tuesday but maybe that is wishful thinking on the builder's behalf????

We Landscaped!!!...and the piers are down.

This morning with some help from our parents/in-laws and a good friend, Gen, we did some landscaping along the back fence! We bought some railway sleepers and laid them along the back fence to hold in the dirt when Adenbrook pushes the dirt down. We have a number of them left over if anyone needs some...... They have also done the piering and the surveying AND we have a portaloo that works (thanks for checking Dave). It's all moving along despite all the rock. You can see us working hard here - Bryan is covered in dirt and Michelle is overseeing the project from her coveted "i have an injured disc" management position.
