Aggregate wash down

Another long day at the house with the concreters today.

Aggregate will get cut ground and cut tomorrow (expansion joints) and will be sealed on Friday (weather allowing).

Really happy with how it's turned out :)

Aggregate going in

A full day today with the concreters on site to pour the aggregate for the driveway and part of the pathing around the side and back of the house (rest of the pathing on the other side of the house will go in once the neighbours garage has been built on the boundary line, so it doesn't get damaged during their build).

Meshing;

Concrete;

Retarder;

Really happy with how it turned out. Can't believe how smooth the finish was once complete.

Another early start tomorrow for the wash off. Just hope that no one steps in it or lets their dog on it before it has time to dry. Fingers crossed.

Driveway and paths

Preparation work for the driveway and paths started last week, and the concrete should be poured next week (weather allowing). 

The garden taps were moved to the right as they were blocking access to the garage.

Settlement

Settlement finally happened on the 11th April. We're happy that the house was 99.99% of the way there and that the remaining items are things that could be done post handover (paint touch ups etc).

Glad to get to the end of the build, but still a long way to go before we can call it home.
