We have a roof and concrete slabs

Frames are going up

I can't believe how much things can change in less than a week.
Here are a few pictures snapped from the front. I really need a day when the builders aren't there so I can have a good snoop around.

Bricking has started

We finally saw some more action at the site this week. It looks like most of the rear foundations have been bricked and have been told the floor joists will be finished next week.
Also received a nasty surprise in the mail of extra expense due to rock excavation while laying the plumbing.

View from the rear.
View of front right.


View of front left. Floor level looks a little higher than we originally thought.

External Plumbing Done

Looks like they have finished the external plumbing.
After the huge downpours over the weekend I found the block so muddy I was walking ankle deep in mud in some sections. May need to invest in some gum boots.




Looks like the sewer on the fence line and access points further down the back to the storwater trenchs on the image below. Here's hoping we can hide these under the turf when they are finished.

They've made a bit of a mess of the backyard.
It's going to be a tight squeeze to put a retaining wall next to the grate
