Roof Nearly Done

Roof is pretty much done, just needs the capping and trimmings finished. Its gonna look great. Retaining wall is now done as well, they've done a great job.

Mini site supervisor in action!

Gutters, Fascia & More Retaining

Things are still moving, popped in today and the colorbond has been delivered ready to go, as well as the windows. The retaining wall will be finished today as well. Yay

Roofing Under Way

The trusses and frame stage were all sewn up on Monday and theyve put all the top hats up ready for the colorbond. Taking shape now.

Frame Started

Few slab pics

Tony, Panda & Buzzy checked out the block today so I met them there late in the afternoon and took a few pics with the phone, getting a bit dark but you get the idea. No more action today, guessing next week things will get moving again with the frame

Boxing, Plumbing & Drainage Done

Hopefully the slab will be poured on Monday

Block Cut

The guys turned up to cut the block on Friday, few days early :-) After some initial discussion we decided to get the entire block leveled out, we needed to have the right hand back corner raised up and retained for the shed anyway so we got it all done straight up to save some money pretty steep angle at the front, it will be a lot better once its flattened out to meet the house, but at the moment its pretty steep
