The construction phase begins

After all the excitement of the road being built we finally made it to settlement. What a day that was. Phone calls from the conveyancer, the bank, the mortgage broker, the land office.....on and on it went. But we made it!

So what next?

Well a couple of weeks had to go by as banks and builders and land owners' had their people talking to each other until the long awaited site scrape.




A bit of an anti-climax really.

But we were still over the moon as now something was happening on our land.



































One day, I didn't go to work as I had an interview. After the interview we went to the block (of course) and nothing had been delivered. We actually saw a delivery truck bringing a dunny as we were leaving so we did a u-turn and followed him and ended up really disappointed because it wasn't ours....but finally it arrive so we took another photo.





2/06/06 Early June and things are happening.

Slab Stage

One day it was just a scraped bit of dirt...the next, mysterious pieces of agi pipe were sticking out of the ground.

Ok so I was perhaps a little too excited when the polysterine arrived...but hey it's now June 10th and I'm keen to see something..anything..happening.



The next thing to happen was the boxing up, laying of poly blocks and rio.

Circa 11th June (weather has improved considerably)

















On the 13th June Aaron was lucky enough to be around when this big beast arrived to pour our kconcrete...impressive eh?


Our lovely concrete slab... we couldn't help but leave our mark, even though it will never be seen.
