We finally had our first slab level poured last week! We are now at the end of the 13th week of our contract, so I'm thinking they're somewhat behind schedule, but hopefully once the rest of the slab is done then things will zoom along. Hopefully? I'm just happy to see it all starting!! http://i832.photobucket.com/albums/zz241/GillyM63/IMG_0677_zpsf53e5757.jpg (The photo shows the top level slab, looking from the back of the house/slab, towards the front.)

Our SS had said that the framer was booked elsewhere, so it may be a "little while" till he was able to do ours. ![]() Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Looks like its mostly done! Maybe just the roof trusses to go!! SS says bricks should be coming next week, so hopefully it will start looking like a house!! ![]() ![]() Masterton Overture 17/12/14 - Handover ...... we got the keys !! blog - http://www.mcnamaraadventure.blogspot.com Re: Our New Home Adventure with Masterton 153Aug 07, 2014 8:34 pm Frame was completed 21/7/14, and windows in 22/7/14.

Thanks Re: Our New Home Adventure with Masterton 157Oct 01, 2014 4:13 pm We've been having fairly good progress...... a few delays along the way, but that seems to be the way it works. Bricks were completed 4/9/14. While they were doing bricks, I realised that the stacker doors on the alfresco area had been put in incorrectly (door A where door B should have been, and vice versa) so they opened the wrong way. Also, the media room window was at a very low height...... you would have to bend over to look out of it. Spoke to the SS and he had it fixed pretty quick. Glad I'm close by so we can see when these things happen as we go, rather than try to fix it all further down the track, when it might be a lot harder to do. Today (1/10/14) the roofing was finished! All moving ahead, and hopefully rain delays will be a thing of the past!
