Slab pour tomorrow!!?!!

I went for another drive past the block today, just to see how muddy it was getting. I was VERY surprised to see that the formwork was done, the waffles were in and everything is ready for a slab pour! It looks like we will be getting our slab tomorrow after all : D
I assume it should be ok as long as we don't get heavy rain in the morning. I'll be ringing the builder tonight to confirm. If it is tomorrow we will both be there to watch, take photos and add our coins to the mix as DH happens to have the day off work : D
YAY, i can't believe it is happening after all this time. Wooohoooo!!!!
Some pics of the site:

All waffled & ready to go! :) Small square front and centre is the porch, to the right is single garage. We have plenty of room to add another (free standing) garage to the side of the house later on.

The laundry pipes are all sealed

My pink glitter gumboots : D











Plenty of room for a garden, and views of Tamworth :)

Rain, rain, go AWAY!!!!

Once again, the only news is that we have had rain all week, it is raining at the moment, and rain is predicted until the weekend :(

I ran into one of the builders in town on monday. He told me that they had rescheduled the slab pour for this friday. Seeing as it has been raining so much i highly doubt that it will go ahead. The only thing that has been done on site - they have stacked and resecured the foam waffles so they can't blow away. I hope we can have clear weather from next week so we can get into the build. We'll just have to wait and see.

Mud!

After another day of constant rain, it is looking highly unlikely that we will get a slab pour this week. If it was clear weather it would have been poured Thursday of Friday. Oh well.

We went for a quick visit today and took some photos. There is finally something to take photos of! It was very muddy (hard to see as we tried to only walk on gravel parts). There were no builders in sight, although they have done a little bit more since my visit on Monday. The wood frame (?) to hold the concrete is closer to being finished and the foam wall has been broken up (and seems to have been flung everywhere - maybe by wind?) Anyway, things are slowly happening. Onto the piccies... :)

What we have so far. Our humble abode :) The block borders are the colourbond fence, rural fence at back and runs (about halfway) through the white styrofoam pile on the right. As you can see we will have plenty of room for our garden (900m2 block)

Bathroom: L to R- foreground is shower, drain, up back is bath then vanity. Furthest right is seperate toilet. Caved in from all the rain.

 

 
 
 
 
Dear husband checking out the progress. Notice houses in background built by same builder. The cream one is very similar to ours minus the verandah we will have over front window & porch. The lamppost is close to our other border mark. Click to enlarge.

 

 

A better view of the block. You can see the styrofoam chaos to the right!
