Plumbing next

We have been told the slab should be done by the end of next week, so that means the plumbers should be due on site pretty soon

My wife has spoken to our site supervisor and he seems very friendly and pretty relaxed.

He has told us frame will be up by Christmas and he is pushing to get the roof done by Christmas! Holy smoke, that would be amazing.

We just booked in our 3 private inspections with New Home Inspections which will be good piece of mind. We decided on Frame stage, pre plaster and pre handover.

Here are some better shots of the site cut

Why wait 'till Monday?!

After being told a couple of days ago that the site cut was booked in for Monday and that if it rained this week it may be delayed a day or so, I was amazed to be told by my wife that a digger was working there yesterday doing the site cut!!

Went by this morning and had a chat to the guys, who were very friendly. Seemed to be doing a great job and it was interesting to see a very rough layout of the ground floor. It looked smaller than I expected, although I know we are building a big house and have been told be numerous people that the house will sometimes look small and sometimes look big depending on what stage the build is up to.

Got a bit concerned that the cut for the alfresco area seemed way too big and too close to the back fence as we are putting in a pool as well, but the digger guy informed me they dig out a much bigger area than needed which was a relief!

Very exciting to see the process start though.
