FRAME

What a surprise - we didn't expect to see any framework this side of Melbourne Cup plus it has not stopped raining!  Two guys hard at work who had been working Saturday as well.  Informed us they will be finished tomorrow night and roof trusses Wednesday. WOW!

Make shift tent to keep tools dry

   

What are they doing? Best stick to cars

Carlisle Homes Update

'J' our CLE emailed today - frame to begin next week.  Will be interesting how much is achieved with Melbourne Cup Holiday.

SLAB

Our slab.....I turned up at 10.30 a.m. to find guys removing formwork and preparing for final trowel.  Their day began at 6.00 a.m. whilst I was still zzzzzzzz.  Back in the evening, perfect.

        

Men At Work

Boxed, waffle pods and reinforcing ready for slab tomorrow!! 

Hard to believe we sold at Sandhurst in May and we'll be in our new home within 12 months......not much time to catch our breath.  We are busy landscaping Luke's front garden - funny the mind tells us we're 25 pity about the body.

 

   

Preparing for Slab

Our evening visit to the site....daylight saving and beautiful weather.   
 

Gravel spread on site

Walking Thru Kitchen

Power, Fence and Drains

More action in readiness for the slab.  Met our lovely neighbour 'Jeane' who's Lot was scraped today. Faringdon Crescent has been a buzz of activity with water meters, pegs and site cuts taking shape.

We're on Our Way
