Frames Delivered 12/01 Slab Prepared

We are waiting on our frames......as of 12/01

Slightly over anxious , however we were expecting our Frames to be delivered yesterday.
The Site supervisor had said we would be first cab off the rank on 10/01. I'm sure there is a good reason why....
Will call tomorrow to find out where things are up to .. and post details as soon as I have them. No real rain to speak of and hopefully there won't be any for the rest of the week.

Soiled Removed 21/12, Bring on January for the Frames !

We've had our Soil removed and made our first installment / payment for the slab today.

Site Supervisor says we will be first cab off the rank in January for our Frames which will be exciting.

This is good news and to be honest we were more than happy about having the slab down before Christmas after a long year.

Ps Somebody has been dumping rubbish in our site rubbish pile. Very annoying, I think these people should have some respect and get rid of their own rubbish a little more thoughtfully !

More photo's in the new year as the Frame's go up.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !

Waffle Slab Yesterday, Concrete today 9/12.

Block Scraped Monday 6/12, Piers Dug & Concreted 7/12

All the trades hooked in yesterday and today (I wasn't on-site yesterday). It was a much welcome relief when I received the phone call this morning from the site supervisor to advise that work had commenced. When I arrived on-site all the trades were completely friendly introducing themselves. The concrete company advised me that the slab will be poured, weather permitting on Thursday 9/12. I stayed for a little while during my lunch break and came back after work to check out the piering. It was covered in plastic sheeting anyway. Advised that 46 linear metres of piering was used. All piers at 900 mm to 1m in depth & anywhere from 300 to 400 mm wide. I have a full spec sheet of all the piers and their varying depths and widths. This sheet goes back to Allworth however this cost was fixed for us anyway. Note a pile of dirt to remove, a few neighbours have expressed an interest in taking some for fill on their land. Additional Note - piles of dirt are deceptive, they are bigger then they look !

Mowed the Lawn again........

Drove past the block today and it definitely needed a mow. Mowed it about 3 weeks ago and in this weather, rain, sun, rain, sun it grows like wild fire. Went home got the trailer and did it. This should be the last time I mow before the slab goes down. Fingers crossed. There has been a little bit of rain but not a heap. Will be keeping an eye on excavation starting one day this week. Stay away rain.

We have the Green Light

We were told that Excavation would start late this week early next week weather permitting.

The wife is going to drive past the block tomorrow to see how things are progressing however it's been wet this week so not 100% confident. That being said we haven't seen the block since last Friday.
