I was trawling through my memory bank of my first few weeks of building and actually, your scheduled slab date of 22 Feb sounds about right. After we were scraped, it wasn't until about a week-ish later that they did the slab box and at this point the plumber was also in to do the plumbing groundwork. You'll probably shortly see the delivery of your waffle pods (just before slab box) and then you'll be slabbed! If you do miss your slab day, by the time you come back from your hols a couple of weeks later, you'll definitely see framework and it happens pretty quickly too! >So here's hoping the weather remains fair over the next few weeks!

Exciting days ahead for you!

Only needs the box to be finished. They did however dig the cables to the opposite side of the house that they were on the construction drawings. Not sure if that matters though.

Also today in the mail we received out site start letter. Stating today is the commencement of our build. Also a reminder letter we are not allowed on site and if we wanted to we need a rep from the builder. This is ok with us, hopefully the supervisor wont mind our incessant calling them so we can go and look. Wouldn't want to get in trouble. Especially since our builder seems to be a frequent viewer of our thread, so nice of them to do so. NO EXPECTATIONS, NO DISAPPOINTMENTS!

All the pictures I take are from outside the temp fence as we are not permitted on site during construction. So we are lucky our two neighbors are not building yet.
