Fully Pitched Maaate!

"Your home will be more imposing from the street"...  Uhmm YEAHH AND THEN SOME! Have a go at it!...  This was what our builder told us when we knew it was included as part of their impressions upgrade, they increased our roof from the 'stock standard' 20.5 degree to a whopping 26 degrees... We love it and the pics don’t do it justice, it absolutely towers over next door.

As you will see from the pics below we’ve been guttered, roofed + Anticon Blanket and sarking (for extra insulation!) then plumbing roughed, Powered and the bicks have commenced and are NEARLY DONE!!  It all looks fantastic, and we are soo happy with the progress so far…  We actually met the brickies on Saturday and they seem to think they’ll finish up by the end of the week… Soon after we presume that the sparky will be in to do his rough-ins, then gyprocked… Will be keeping a close eye at this point ;)

Anywayz pics overload below – Enjoy & Happy Building

Our Meccano set is complete!

We are super excited to say that we now have our beautiful steel frame up and it looks AMAZING!! Our windows have also been put in place and we had our gutters and fascia installed yesterday.  J

Our site supervisor has said that we will also get our roof put on this week and fingers crossed we get our bricks delivered! We expect that to start next week.

We are so happy with the progress of our home to date, it’s been smooth sailing and MJH have been an absolute pleasure to deal with.  Our site supervisor has been so responsive to any queries we have had. 

Here’s a couple more of pics of the our gutters, fascia and battens for the colorbond roof!!!    The countdown is one till we move in! WOOHOOO

Authority to leave at door step 1 x MJH FLAT PACK!

Drove past the block this afternoon and to our surprise our frames and roof trusses were delivered a day early and the Kordon termite barrier laid.   It's quite amazing really, how it’s all pre-fabricated and ready to go, looks like a flat pack from ikea, surely can’t be that hard to put together; an allen key, instructions and she'll be right!!   Anyhow the goods received all look to be..... Strong... uhmm termite proof!... and... intact… hmm not much else to say until they’re up I suppose lol.... 

OHH and we also received a phone call from our very informative Site Supervisor; he advised that the chippies are running a day late due to bad weather over the past 2 days... So weather permitting; they are due to commence on Tuesday, so you know what that means DAY OFF WOOHOOO!!

Pics below - enjoy.

It's McSlab Time!

So sorry guys, been a little while since we have blogged, but we have both been quite busy with work and life in general.

Just wanted to let you all know that we have now got a slab! WOOHOO!!! It was poured on 15^th and has been curing ever since. J  All the external plumbing has also been done along with the connection of the electricity to the mains.

Not much else to report on at this stage, we just need to clear a bit of extra soil (approx. 40 ton!!) this weekend to get ready for the frame. Considering our site is so tight, we want to give them as much room as possible to work.  The frames are due in at the end of next week, so we should have another update in the next week or so.

We haven’t got a full pic of the completed slab; every time we manage to get out to the block it’s always too dark!  But here are some pics we took while it was getting poured.
