Roofing Complete

Sarking and roof tiles have gone on since the last visit.

Also looks like a couple of issues highlighted at the frame inspection have also been resolved.

Framing Complete

As we were told that the frame was completed just before Christmas, we thought we ought to have a look before the builders get back from their Christmas break and start on the next stage.

Looks like some of the windows have gone in too.

Slab and ground floor frame start

Lots of progress in the last week. Not only was the slab poured on the 13th (7 days ago), but the majority of the ground floor frame (excluding the garage) now appears to have been started also.

Pre-pour Slab Inspection

Due to wet weather yesterday, the slab inspection was postponed until today. Couple of small issues were picked up (termite protection broken being one) that will need to be rectified in the morning before the pour, but otherwise the inspector was very happy with what the builders have done so far.

Earth works and play park opening

Today the first section of the proposed park was opened, so we thought we'd take a trip up and have a look and use it as an opportunity to see what's happened with the block over the last week.

Lots of pink and white pipes have appeared on site. Possibly drainage and slab pier markers.
Site also looks remarkably dry considering all the rain we've had in the last few days.

Some massive rocks on the site. Can only assume they dug these out of the ground while levelling the block.

And finally the new park.

Earth has been turned

Jo went up to the plot of land this week to check on the builders progress. So far we have a fence, a portaloo and what looks like an initial scrape of the block. I've been told that the surveyors have also been in to check the boundaries etc and make sure that everything is positioned as it should be.

It's Started!!!!!!

Finally got confirmation from Porter Davis yesterday afternoon that the builders were on site on Monday 24th Nov. Fingers crossed - in a couple of weeks we may have a slab.
