                                                     Rear of house

Wednesday 22 October 2014

Our frame was completed today & the roof trusses installed. Looking good!!!
Windows have been delivered and should be soon installed.






After the slab had a chance to cure, the site was handed back to us to build a retaining wall. Eventually the wall will run the full length down the side of the house but because of lack of room, the area where the water tanks are to be installed had to be completed before the build could progress.

             Pleasantly surprised to find the piering completed on Monday. We had an allowance of 70 lineal metres but it only came in at 38, so that will be a big saving. The slab preparation and waffle pods was completed on Thursday and the Slab poured today ( Saturday ).
             When the slab has set the site will be handed back to us to the address some retaining wall issues which I an not looking forward to. Oh well, knew it would have to be done sometime!!!

Drove past the block yesterday on my way home from work, and to my surprise the site had been cut and leveled. WOW!!! what a difference it makes being able to see how the house will sit after all these months.
 I got a call form our slab supervisor who said they had hit rock ( which we had expected ), But the variation only came in at $1584.00, So we were pretty happy with that. He said they will be starting the piering on Monday so hopefully that will go well too.







           

              The rock they hit is all sandstone which we plan to use around the yard  ( when we get time)
