Site Start!

Finally, our site works begun on the 28/07/14, who would of thought we could be excited about a bull dozen coming and scraping our block of land. We were very excited as this mark the beginning of our new family home. After months of looking at land, going through display homes, making big decisions organising finances and more it was now time to sit back and observe the construction of our new home. When I say we were excited I mean all of us. As we walk our boys to school and kinder each day, we walk right past our new build so walking past on the day the earth moving equipment was there was quite a highlight for our 4 and 6 year old boys.

 We Got Slabbed & Framed!

We met with our site supervisor on the 29/07/14 and he was hoping to have the plumbing in and slabbed pour on Friday, but as we were expecting a fairly rainy week would more likely be early the following week. On my way home from work the next Wednesday night I saw them smoothing out the slab and thought to myself "ooh, better take the camera in the morning and take a photo of the slab". The next morning on the 7/07/14 at 8:30am most of the first floor frame was up! These guys are moving quick. Initially I was a little worried that the slab wouldn't have cured properly, but reminded myself these guys are professionals and know what they are doing. By Friday the second floor frame was up (below).

Now, you can imagine the kids excitement to actually see how the house will be. I have made a habit of missing my turn and driving past every single time I come and go, haha.

 Below is the view over our back fence, talk about keeping an eye on your build!
