Page 5 of 7
Called V this morning and was told the footings are being done today and the slab is poured tomorrow.
As soon as I get pics ill post them.
Heres the latest pics of the footings.
Ill take a drive sometime today to check out the slab, at last visual progress



Looking good jenx

the slab will be very very soon

You have definitely waited long enough for some action, but you should be on a roll now
Slabs down, looking good!!
The pipes have been connected to the septics and trench filled.





Wow nice looking slab there

next the BRICKS
Wow, congrats!!
It looks massive!
Now the exciting stuff happens. Here's hoping they get a move on for you.
Progress so far... Bricks and window frames have been delivered and the meter boxes have been installed. Now for the brickies to arrive!!
Nice one! Let's hope they move a bit quicker than mine did!
The Bricks and window frames are now delivered and the shed slab has been laid.
The supervisor told me the Brickies will be out there next week. Some bad news is the laminate we picked for the ensuite cupboards isnt available and we have to pick another colour. Thats going to be a challenge as that was the hardest one to find and the only one that matched our floor tiles.
latest update if anyones interested out there...

the Bricks have started going down. Good to see things taking shape now. We have another customer relations person as the one we were using has left the company..Seems to be a common theme for us dealing with V. The 2nd colour we picked for the ensuite cupboards isnt available either so we have to pick again.
Looking good jenx! It's great finally seeing it happen hey! Keep the pics coming...

the pebbles are from crosby tiles in osborne park. they had a few different colours when we picked ours. I cant remember what they cost though
Heres a few more of the latest pics. the bricking is almost complete. Theres only the pillars for the alfresco and pantry to go. They have put one door frame the wrong way around in the bedroom so the hinges open out into the hallway. I let the CLO know so see how they fix that one.
g]
So they've been bricking for a month and are almost finished... not bad. You happy with the workmanship? We had some real doosies with our brickwork, so make sure you check it closely. I guess you are since you picked up the door frame.

Hopefully you'll get some roof timber (or steel) soon.
