Builders putting the frame up. they put them together off site and it has been a quick process in getting them up. 

Poppa Tom lays a perfect slab

Today Tom was on site to lay the concrete for the mid floor. We can now stand on the floor and see what view we will have from the kids bedrooms and it is awesome. Tom did a perfect job on the slab. Thanks so much Tom we really love it!

Pouring the concrete

Spreading the concrete 

The kids loved watching Poppa working on the house. 

Sorting the concrete for the steps to the play area

Its on like Donkey Kong!

So we had a delay waiting for the concrete beams to come but hey have arrived! Yay! They were installed last Thursday and today (Thursday) the mid floor has been blocked in to prepare for the concrete pour. Tom is coming down tomorrow to do the pour for us which is fab! 

Day 17 week 3 - it is all taking shape!

The blocks are laid for the garage. 

View from over the road. Even replacing those rotten retaining beams has made a huge difference.

The planter box & where the wall is for the landing at the top of the entrance stairs.

All going well so far. the weather has been great and it is great to be able to see the plans taking shape. lachlan is loving all the rock debris everywhere and throwing it around.
