Browse Forums Owner Builder Forum 1 May 28, 2010 11:11 pm Hi there This last week has been a flurry of activity on our OB project. After getting building approval it just seemed to take FOREVER for anything to work or get working ... and then all of a sudden it has fallen into place! Over the last three days Onc and his trusty team have been dancing with plumbers and underfloor heating contractors whilst digging and filling footings, measuring out the slab and doing whatever they need to do! It has been a fascinating process. Anyway I just wanted to let you know how awesome our pad looks ... it is a pretty special one as we are having polished concrete, Holcim's Wattle. At the moment it looks a bit glow greeny but that is because it is a cream concrete. Onc has been fab to work with and nothing was too much trouble, even me changing my mind about 4 million times and asking 5 million stupid questions. It has been so good I think I am going to go with polsihed concrete for my kitchen benchtops. Awesome awesome awesome ... will post some pics soon!!!!! I know you want to have the Onc revealed!

Re: SOG and ONC the Conc!!!! 19May 30, 2010 8:39 pm Okay people .... the proof in the pudding. The delay being due to trying to organise how to do it, negotiate with the * builder that my parents used for an extension and organise my windows and roof man! http://i895.photobucket.com/albums/ac157/kereth/housebuild/1046.jpg Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Here is the Onc!
