House Building progress

I recently posted pics of our new house getting built getting under-way with the site preparation.

Things have progressed reasonably well (albeit in between some rain - which we do actually need, but preferably after we get to the lock-up stage!)

So here are some photos over the last week.

Water, Plumbing and Electrical
The water to the property goes in and we officially have a tap! Woot!
In addition, we have had the underground electrical and plumbing go in.



Foundations
This week we saw the foundations dug out and boxing up ready for the slab to be laid.



The boxing up was finished up today (Friday). It's been covered up for the weekend as we've been getting light rain all week (and likely over the weekend). At this stage the slab is scheduled to go down on Tuesday. Speaking to the builder, we'll let that sit for about a week, and commence building frame the following week.

It's great to see the actual house start forming from a drawing to something physical now. The slab will make a big difference as the shape/size of the place will become more evident.

We're scheduled for a mid-Sept finish, though I suspect we'll run over, and we'll be happy if we're in before Christmas. Hopefully the next few weeks the weather can hold until we at least get to lock-up as not to delay the builders.

Thanks again to Mum and Dad for snapping the shots for us!
