Slab was poured today, beautiful weather for it. No issues so far other than a couple of very cold day for the boys up there.

Helps give the slab an R rating of 1.2. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20150717_140040_zpsdj3bzvnw.jpg Clinkafill under black plastic, footing reo folded over and connected to slab reo. Outer edge of slab is insulated with 1/2 ClinkaBlok - another way to ensure the slabs R1.2 rating, and easy way to box up. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20150722_163000_zpsxo3cwwud.jpg Full view http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20150722_163051_zpsclyfh3d9.jpg Slab done - note notch in foreground for garage door. Hoping to get an insulated garage door as we have moved the laundry from the downstairs bedroom, to a cupboard in the garage. Having it insulated will help keep this area more pleasant. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20150724_154717_zpshft5byhl.jpg Ground floor level. The drop to the road is a little steeper than we had planned, I am unsure if this will be a problem with council/surveyor, but hopefully not. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20150724_154734_zpsfqcs1smn.jpg Boxed for downstairs shower, which will be glass panels straight onto tile base. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20150724_154739_zpspn4x6d3n.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20150724_154750_zpsuo14n7co.jpg The ClinkaBlok brick http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20150708_162921_zpsmyt8llry.jpg That is all the pics for now. I have finalised getting the power hooked up which should be on next week. Our brickie has broken his finger so the builders will be doing the bricking until he is good to go again. The bricks are very simple and the rep has been up to give a thorough run down and will be popping up periodically to ensure all is well. Next up is lower floor bricks and stud framing! Stay tuned Re: Custom Build - Tolmans Hill, Tasmania. 23Jul 24, 2015 8:51 pm Congrats on getting your slab, very exciting indeed.

BRICKS: Looks as though the brickie didn't break has finger he just didn't want to work with our bricks. Some people are just stuck in their ways. All good though as the builders did it themselves, did a great job and saved a few bob as well.

Steel tie rods are installed at all wall ends, these are embedded into the slab, then the bricks are slid over the top, and tied into the concrete in the top course. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20150819_170848_zpsire1xqsq.jpg Temporary posts on the LHS for when the steel gets delivered. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20150819_171050_zpsyzpkjgr4.jpg STEEL: Steel is up and in place, a few very snowy days saw the whole block coated in snow and the road shut to get up there which delayed this getting completed. There are a few beams in the middle of the deck area (cantilever area) that need to be changed as they were hanging too low, which would impact the underside of the deck. Snow on site!

My build thread: Custom build on 40 acres viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75656 Re: Custom Build - Tolmans Hill, Tasmania. 29Apr 05, 2016 2:50 pm So very sorry for the lack of updates, life has been a bit crazy. I was moved up the north of the state for work.....yes I am serious. I have to be up here for minimum 2 years, so I will be travelling (2hrs) quite a bit during days off. The house is nearly finished, but I will let the pictures to the talking. If anyone has any questions about any stage/item/image you see, just let me know. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/IMG_20150725_101050_zpssfof6eql.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/IMG_20150918_170310_zps9nksti83.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/IMG_20150822_170826_zpssbka32kn.jpghttp://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/IMG_20150919_190719_zpsc96vjjqt.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20150911_142758_zpsmds35dos.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20150923_160430_zpsxstlgevz.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20151018_115403_zpsduitxmt9.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20151018_121817_zpsudtgwa0s.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20151021_160342_zpsi2og0irw.jpg Re: Custom Build - Tolmans Hill, Tasmania. 30Apr 05, 2016 2:55 pm Continued http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20151030_123849_zpsnghgep7p.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20151113_142022_zps8srbo8st.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20151121_150932_zpsxqanxa3l.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20151211_143924_zpshzv0qmth.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20151211_144110_zpsfzqififp.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20151225_173224_zps7fovgzko.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20151225_173729_zpspn0mdf0h.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20151227_113341_zps55llzyft.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20151227_121053_zps6eirpxwq.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20151227_121238_zpsvbgvzxze.jpg Re: Custom Build - Tolmans Hill, Tasmania. 31Apr 05, 2016 3:02 pm Continued http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20160115_113032_zps97yu4amy.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20160227_095429_zpsiwyrow40.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20160227_095652_zps06cwtfwx.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20160227_095931_zpsxwmcbobk.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20160227_095949_zpsy9aqgrg3.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20160302_145717_zpsh45swibs.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20160302_150939_zpsgtricwbu.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20160302_151021_zpsiabisghy.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20160305_121201_zpsdt2lpoz0.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20160305_121207_zpsf5qkzij8.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20160305_121226_zps3kohwuut.jpg Re: Custom Build - Tolmans Hill, Tasmania. 32Apr 05, 2016 3:16 pm Continued http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20160305_121716_zpsuemtgs36.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20160325_124720_zpsdj209em4.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20160325_125450_zpsr1tei5ho.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20160325_125510_zps9p6hysyi.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/20160325_131153_zpsr6zv4p93.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Brendan_Sumpton/IMG_20160404_193508_zps8quhdvuh.jpg And that's where we are at currently. The tiler is in today finishing off the bathrooms.The plumber can then finish off. We have had some issues with the kitchen benchtops. We have 700mm tops, not the standard 600mm. The joiner has quoted at 600mm and did not resend through an invoice after he came for a check measure. Its going to cost us a bit extra now ($3000!) Thats all for now.
