Well last week was a big one in that we got SLABED, which is very exciting.
We got the call last Wednesday that the slab had been poured so we took advantage of day light savings and headed out to the block.
Not only had we been slabed but some of our bricks had been delivered and thankfully they looked the same as the sample wall at Boral, the only concern, what would they look like once they had been laid?
Well we didn’t have to wait long as on Saturday when we went out again the brickies started our garage and we were very happy. Well I was very happy as the bricks were my choice.
We also noticed they had marked out the slab for the frames and dispersed all the spoil from the slab over our block, making it very flat which is great. It was fun seeing where all the rooms fitted in and just how big our place is, well a lot bigger than we have now but it aint no McMansion at 18Sq.
We do end up with a decent backyard and a place for the kids to play Football, Cricket and AFL, mind you I am sure it will cost me a few windows over the years.
Below are pictures of the slab and the bricks

We are now really looking forward to our trip this coming weekend, we may even see some frames and I may finally need to go and buy some speaker cable and some cat6 cable for some data points, now that will be more progress.

isn't it great to see it in place - finally! and you can see your yard size too! fantastic size!
ReplyDeleteYes the backyard is half decent and 1 of the reasons we chose the size house we have, well that and the extra $20K it would have cost us. I am looking forward to the frame now.
