Housing the Tribe, Gold Coast

Great to see a site start after the long wait. If only M knew beforehand that your son has his own earthmoving equipment, you could have saved on on site costs.

Our two year old is also obsessed with digger trucks. Im sick of watching digger trucks on Youtube!!!

So pleased it's finally happening, gosh the savings would be sensational, if only I could keep him on task long enough to complete it.

Hahhahaha Yeap we have that problem too, there seems to be an endless supply of machinery videos on YouTube to my horror.

You're off to a great start! What a fantastic experience for your tribe to watch them start earthworks. I bet your 4 little foremen get even more excited as the build progresses.

It would have been cool to watch the slab pour and I even thought about leaving our handprints on the concrete. But my SS forgot to tell us the pour was actually happening on the day!

Now the fun begins. So exciting tribe

Thanks sheilzy, it was a really good start to our build to let them see the site cut and feel included. (Kind of helped the excavator driver was waving to them)

I remember reading on your thread that your ss didn't mention it, I had a site meeting on Tuesday and told him how keen the kids are to see the actual things happening, sure enough he sent me a txt to advise the cut was happening go check it out. (I already had the heads up from a lovely neighbour but I'm pleased he let me know) ohh that's a cool idea I might get the kids to do it in the garage. Love JLC's coin she placed in her slab.

Is that yours or your neighbour who is cut down on the right? Is this looking from the road?

Hi mr bee, the lot with the huge cut is our neighbour, he is a Metricon build too. Our lot is the one with the machinery on it. Yes this is looking in from the street.

I was worried about being close to our neighbour but I don't think that's going to be a problem now as he is so low down, poor man might see a lot of feet

We have 3 in a row with Plantation, all with separate fences and separate loos. Although, the one in the middle is a different SS.

Oh no look at your site. How long will this delay you now. Your cute little construction supervisor reminds me of my little one. although he is now not little but still loves the big machines.

Mr tribe went and had a look this afternoon and he said its holding up really well, the excavator guy cut some drainage channels in and it's pouring off nicely (phew). The rain is supposed to be gone by tomorrow but Bom is showing we are getting the tail end of the rain now. Long range for cast gives us nice warm days so it should be dried out by hopefully Tuesday so they can start on the drainage.

He is a nice age, everything is amazing and he is so inquisitive, I'll miss him when he goes to pre prep next year. How old are your kiddies livpal? Any news on your build?

Damn i just lost all my post. Grrrr
Lucky there is good drainage. Im glad it wont hold you up much.
Our admin guy thinks it should be in council by next week. Im not holding my breath tho. Hopefully the rain will stop for all our sakes and we have a dry winter.
I have 3 kiddies my boy is my oldest at 11, then i have 2 daughters 6 and 8. My boy absolutely loves vechicles all shapes and sizes. used to love watching him play with his diggers so cute.
