A Perfect Slab



The rain stopped long enough for Ben to lay the perfect slab.
And no that's not some kind of dirty talk!!

All that sticky mud has been covered in cement - which will ultimately be covered in spotted gum - the floor of our new living room.


Ben's put a layer of crushed rock on the ground - so the crane has got a solid base when it comes to lift the steel into place... next week.

It's all happening!
Concrete for the bored piers which extend down to the bed rock have been finished.
(That's fancy talk for the cement stumps are done to give the house a solid foundation.)
The steel has been fabricated off site.
The windows are also being made.
The roof will start going on the week after next ....  so we'll see some real progress in the next fortnight.
