Michael (Operations Manager) called to say they'd liked the job the demolisher had done so much they were going to recommend them going forward. And even better news, Monash Council had approved our plans even though our setback was only 6.8m, not the preferred 7.6m set by council. So this was good news all round. By then they'd done the second soil test, first soil test having been done while the house was still there.
We'd signed the contract mid September, was pretty painless if you didn't count the number of pages the three of us had to initial - and two pages of course, a copy for CG and a copy for us.
31/10 next two photos - the fence was up, portaloo onsite and all set to go
The plumbing was the first to be done. Here's what we saw on 7/11
On Wednesday 13/11, the polystyrene waffles were down. This photo was taken in the pouring rain, the day the slab was due to be poured. Although Rod, our Site Supervisor (SS), had said it could be poured if it rained, this was too much, and we were advised it would happen any day. This day was the first time we met Rod in person at the site and he advised we were aiming to have the framework up, roof on and as much Hebel on the ground floor as possible by Christmas. He'd advised that he'd give us weekly updates on Fridays and he's true to his word.
Lo and behold it was poured the next day, Thursday 14/11
at left the alfresco, and in the forefront the power box.
