I have for example - 135mm step down to porch and alfresco. So as we come out those doors we step down. Does this help?

Also with the rain you can see where levelling will be required before flooring Nice progress YAY!!!!

Also with the rain you can see where levelling will be required before flooring Nice progress YAY!!!! Didn't realise they'd be prefab. As long as they are right it should go up fast. We're only doing a single story too so won't take long. I didn't think to check out the slab for water this morning. Wish I had. Your trusses all up? Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - SLAB DOWN 251Nov 16, 2017 1:33 pm Hopefully yours starts next week. I drove past the site at lunch time (on the way to the shops the more direct route currently has road works so its faster to go past the site instead, lol) and there was nothing happening. Shame about todays crappy weather. Received our "Slab Down" invoice today. Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - SLAB DOWN 252Nov 17, 2017 12:41 pm Roof trusses delivered this morning. Otherwise the site is quiet. Got a call from our private inspectors. They’ve been in contact with SS and have planned slab and frame inspection for a week Monday. Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - SLAB DOWN 254Nov 17, 2017 1:55 pm Ezza78 Wowsers! That is quick. We have to wait 3 weeks for a frame to start Why Ezza and who told that u have wait 3 weeks for framers to start - any reason given follow my build Arden homes Votivo 37 iin south east: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=88622 Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - SLAB DOWN 255Nov 17, 2017 2:05 pm Ezza78 Wowsers! That is quick. We have to wait 3 weeks for a frame to start Your building a double story aren’t you Ezza? I wonder if that’s the reason because ours is only single story. Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - SLAB DOWN 257Nov 17, 2017 2:57 pm Ezza78 Yeah it’s something to do with our facade too, need different roof trusses which aren’t available. Plus a framer who is on leave Oh ok. That’s a shame. But when it happens it will be worth the wait. I’m looking forward to framing to get a better idea of the size. Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - SLAB DOWN 258Nov 17, 2017 5:46 pm Holy moly - that's quick, and at the same time wonderful for your inspectors to be in touch with your SS. I'm so happy for you that things are moving along. Just remember that the framing makes things look smaller for some strange reason Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - SLAB DOWN 259Nov 17, 2017 6:01 pm The website had completion of frame for 21st but Inspector was talking to SS and they agreed on the following Monday for inspection. That’s what I love about this site. People passing on info and advice. I know not to panic when we go in at framing. I’ll take a measuring tape with me too.
