STILL FULL STEAM AHEAD!

Just over 6 weeks since the build started and this is where we are at...

Friday 30 March Roof on!

 Thursday 5th of April - insulation, plumbing and chippies were onsite while Karl and James did the data cable wiring.

 Sunday 15th April we did our first mow!

 Tuesday 17th April the bricks arrived.

Friday 20th April the brick work was started.

PICTURES SPEAK A THOUSAND WORDS!

ROOF TRUSSES

Went in the morning and seen the trusses being lifted on to the roof:

 Come back in the arvo to this!

I am sure there will be plenty more before I go back again on Friday despite today being a public holiday. As they work like troopers!

SO MUCH CAN CHANGE IN JUST ONE DAY

Wow, what a day. I cant believe how the slab has transformed and finally I am starting to see our family home taking shape. Got a lit upset this arvo that Karl is not here to see all these wonderful changes. I feel blessed that I have such an amazing, hardworking husband who works extra hard to make all our dreams come true.

ANOTHER WET WET DAY

I apologise in advance for the poor photos, drove past the block today on the way home from school, just to see how it was holding up in all this rain.

Fingers and toes crossed and hoping like crazy that next week is sunny!
Hopefully more photos to come soon. x

THE SLAB

The site was boxed up on Monday 19th March. This is the only day I haven't been to site as I was cramming like crazy to get two assignments in, but Karl went on the way to school in the morning and this is what he had found. The slab boxed up :)

The following morning we drove past the block expecting not to see much as the weather was just awful, to our surprise the site once again was covered on people and equipment and the slab was being poured! The slab was poured Tuesday 20th of March.

We came back later in the afternoon to to check on things... the slab was really wet but the sun came out and it dried out fairly quickly. Karl said it still seemed pretty cool to touch which apparently is a good thing.

PATIO:

To celebrate the slab being laid we got some fish and chips and enjoyed it on the block. If you come to Toowoomba to see us and check on the progress bring a jacket, its getting chilly already!

These photos are not really bluilding progress but I lover them!

Hopefully more photos to come soon!

MISERABLE WET DAY FOR THE POOR TRADIES

Karl and I drove out to the block today expecting to see no change from yesterday. We were so confident that we didn't even pack our boots or camera. So I apologise for the quality of the pictures. It was really cold wet and miserable and I felt bad for the tradies who were dripping wet and working away in it!

Today is Day 6 and as at 3:30pm we had a power box, plumbing and a home sewage treatment plant in. I am really happy that the block is literally on the school run, so we are popping in regularly to see what is happening. It is great by 3pm most of the tradies are off site and we can have a look at the progress.

Its getting really excited now and I am sure lots of photographs will follow in the coming days.

Fingers crossed for a little sunshine in the coming days. xx
