On the road to our Dream Home

Slab down!






Okay, so we now have a slab. The base for our house has been laid and imagine our surprise when we arrived and found a couple of local skateboarders were already enjoying it! There was a ramp set up and they were having a ball. Unfortunately they didn't hang around long enough for us to try and perfect the jump ourselves, but I think they skulked off with their tails between their legs at the fact they were caught in the act! Anyway, that's fine, no damage done and we were pleased that work was done again and it looks great. The local building inspectors were out in force as you can see..oops, no, they are my parents!! Still hard to imagine the size of the rooms, but we can tell where they are meant to be. Thank goodness for that I reckon, otherwise I'd be parking the car in the ensuite and what fun would that be while I'm trying to take a shower in the kitchen and Pete is cooking in the laundry! Ha Ha..gotta have a sense of humour don't we?

  • What a good looking couple you have to inspect the progress.Seriously though it's starting to look good and with luck the woodwork should start appearing soon.

  • Now that I looked into some pictures I could finally understand what Pete was talking about.
    What a big block!!!
    The house is coming along great. Love the fact that you have lots of windows at the front.
    I can't wait to see more photos and what your landscape garden will look like.
    Sure you will have more photos after easter and I will keep logging in to see the progress.

    Good luck!!
