Its been a while since the last update and I apologise but we have been a little busy. However, we have the slab down - yay! it went down last weekend despite an incredible amount of rain. Our poor concreter was there till 9pm on Saturday night making sure it was ok. So far it looks great.

We have filled in all the trenches around the sub floor and the next step is the order the steel (tomorrow) for the bearers and joists for the lower levels. As you can see, Chris has been busy measuring up - unfortunately due to the rain, we have a bit of a swimming pool.

The orange around the perimeters is Kordon, our termite protection and the black paint on the walls is our water proofing.

There has been a bit of rain recently so things have slowed a little, but I am still most impressed with the progress. Here are some pics of our lovely creek on our block. And of our progress.

We have now got more walls and are just about ready to pour the concrete slab for the garage (where the orange plastic is now). The slab will be part suspended. The rest of the house (to the left) will be bearers and joist.

We are still aiming to have our roof on by Xmas! Cross fingers.
