Holy Moly!!!! It's all becoming reality now!!!! We came home from work today, and lo behold the surveyor had been to mark out the boundaries etc for the slab!!! Builder says he'll start forming up for the slab with a pour probably after easter....it's a little nerve raking but exciting at the same time... up till now its kinda been this vision in my head, but now it's on its way!!!
I kinda freaked out too, cause we went the minimum setback (5m) and I thought it was gonna be from where the first peg was (way too close to the road agggghhhhh!!), but after several patient explanations from the boyfriend and a frantic call to the builder, it was explained that those pegs are there to mark out the corners, so we will end up being further back..phew..... still a little nervous as I can't visualise how it will all turn out with walls etc, but I think it will be OK.
Have to go out tomorrow and take yet another 5 million pictures!!!
