Weve been framed

Drove past on Monday to see our first floor frame up... our windows and doors have been delivered aswell. Nothing else since Monday but hoping to see more progress soon. We did a walk through to see how everything feels and looks and we where pleased. Im glad I decided on the double doors in the study and we have a lovely big window in there. The lounge dining and alfresco is a nice size too. Heres to seeing more.

Slab Photos

So our frames are getting delivered on Monday....hip hip hooray.
We went past the house today and had a closer look at the slab and imagined where everything would be.
Its funny how when you are out the front of the house you think that the slab is tiny..but once you take a closer look its huge!!
Our slab sits really high too...due to the class of soil we had to get a H class slab??
I cant believe how much grass we will have. Our previous backyard was just concrete so the kids have never played in our backyard.

Anyway enough of me here are some pictures:

Weve been slabbed

Drove past on Tuesday to discover we now have a slab...so exciting to see progress. Next should be the external plumbing and then the frame starts...Photos to come.

Yipee Piers

Well finally, thanks to some good weather we had our piers done on Wednesday. It was so exciting to see machines on our block!!! Our daughter had a ball watching the concrete being poured. She was more excited than we where.
It was nice to see some work getting done on Saturday morning too. Our soil for the landscaping got delivered too, and there was a mini excavator clearing the site.
Looking forward to seeing a slab now... hoping the good weather stays :)

Rain rain go away!!

So we where hoping to see some piering but looks like the rain has delayed us. With more rain forecast and the site needing to dry up before they can get machines there to pier it looks like we are in for abit of a wait.

Site Levelled

So the site was levelled (is that the term) on Monday. I think next comes the piering. The team at Fairmont Homes NSW have been so great. We have changed our mind on so many things but nothing has ever been trouble for them. Can't wait to see some more progress. Meanwhile we have been stuck at home as we have all come down with the flu. Given us time to think of how we are going to furnish this new place!!!

Shopping for Lights

We decided to take the time we had while we are waiting for the Construction Certificate to do some light shopping. Below are the lights we have chosen:

3 of these for the kitchen as a feature above the kitchen bench:

Feature light for the front columns:

Sensor lights for the side of the home:
