Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Perth newbie 17Aug 14, 2012 3:28 pm JazzyJess Very exciting for you! Btw perhaps you've already been told about this but if the slab looks too small don't worry, slabs always look weirdly small and you wonder if they've forgotten some of the rooms. Ha ha yes thought the layout of footings was small, but then I have to keep reminding myself that this is our downsize home, half the size of the last one so is suppose to seem small Re: Perth newbie 18Aug 14, 2012 3:45 pm It's funny how the house gets bigger the more they do. The slab looks like the rooms will never all fit. The wallframes go up and the rooms fit but they look so small. The sheeting is done and it starts to look like . . . like . . . a real house!
