Tale of two slabs - one concrete, one beer.



All good things come to those who wait _ and wait _ and wait _and wait.
We now have a slab down and a glimpse of the future. The frame will probably go up next week and there should be a lot more activity from here on.Cheers.

A Quick Update.

There has been very little progress since the last blog entry.Allworth had aimed at pouring a slab before Xmas but we had an overabundance of rain which brought the proceedings to a soggy halt.
At this stage the block has been cut and filled and work should resume on the Seventh of January if the weather is acceptable.

More Later.

Eureka



A fair bit of progress over the last week,even though there was some rain about.It is good to see things moving along.The current situation as follows.
  • Water meter installed.
  • Portable dunny delivered.
  • A dozen large trees evicted from the block - say goodbye to $1500.BUGGER.
  • Excavation of block almost finished now.
It looks like next Monday we may have a slab poured.That is assuming the weather Gods are kind to us.
