We have a slab......

Yes its true, we are now the proud owners of a huge slab of concrete (approx 80 cubic square meters of the stuff...) The slab was put down on Friday, the day after Emily (5) broke her collarbone at school. Poor kid, at home in some pain and her mum drags her to the block to see concrete trucks... to which she replies "mum, it hurts to walk, turn my head or breath really, can we go home now".

Here is a copy of the house plan and a photo of the slab. Its difficult to get a good picture of the slab as the block is on a slight rise from the road level. The photo is taken from the corner of the garage looking back towards bedroom 2 in the far corner. I will endevour to take a better photo, perhaps from the back of the block.

Awaiting site works to begin.

Well its March 2008 and we are so close to starting site works that we can almost smell the freshly turned soil and freshly laid concrete, except that we are experiencing a heat wave here in Adelaide and they wont do a slab in temps above 32 degrees (which have been forcasted for the next 9 days at least...) So for now we have to be content with the cut and fill they have done...
