Slabtastic!

So I'm way behind on updates, I know, I know, bad blogger. Not a lot has been happening on the house front except...... I have a SLAB!!!!

It all happened quite unexpectedly, back early December 2013 I had contacted my builder and been advised that site works for my foundations (slab) would only start towards the end of January as they were about to shut down for a few weeks over the Christmas/ New year period. Anyway... it was quite a surprise as I was driving by my land only 3 days later to see workmen and large machinery leveling my site and digging trenches. I think I screamed with excitement.

The guys worked flat out for 3 days prepping the site, installing the plumbing, putting in the reinforcing mesh and fancy orange plastic.

Then the slab concrete was poured the following Monday. I walked on it that night, it was pretty exciting!

At the time it was all very overwhelming as like I said, I wasnt expecting anything for at least another month, I was all mentally prepared for the new year. The moment I seen the workmen on my site it all sunk in that this is really happening, my house will not be far away. Although I am sooooo excited about it all, I also have a lot of nerves as this will bring a lot of change in my life, but change is good as they say.
