The concreter thought it was too wet today to box up the slab, however it hasnt been all that bad! I have to say this has been the slowest slab on the street! All the other builders who went to site had theirs inthe 1-2 week mark, we are now in week 4! However I dont mind waiting if it means we will have a qaulity slab ![]() Re: Henley - Sahara 40 Build - Week 1 Day 3 Site Cut Done! 465Aug 07, 2017 2:33 pm ![]() Another day of delay!

Oh no!! those sorts of delays are the worst as you cant see anything happening! Hopefully it gets all sorted for you asap! Yep! The slab is the most important thing as it is the foundation of your home! I have noticed so many builders laying slabs in this weather which can be a bad thing as the footings could be too wet to lay the slab! So I am actually glad that our concreter is being this strict as to when they do this. However in the same token its been a very boring 2 weeks as nothing has happened on site!

I'm looking forward to getting the pre slab inspection report as I have high hopes that they will do a good job with the prepping Re: Henley - Sahara 40 Build - Week 1 Day 3 Site Cut Done! 469Aug 09, 2017 12:03 pm Okay so the pre-pour inspection finally happened as our concreters had a nice day to setup for the job! I have to say I am extremely impressed with our concreters as they remained onsite for the Inspection and resolved all of the issues on the spot! Also the issues that were found were very very minimal! Granted our SS put their best concreter on the job as he knew about the inspection, I guess it goes to show that although minimul defects were found, that the inspection looming as produced an excellent start to what is going to be the base for our forever home! Secretly I am hoping for the slab to be pured today! The frame is set to start on tuesday so provding thats still on track we should be completely framed up before the end of august! This means that September can be the month where the bricks and plaster come together so that all of the internals can be completed! It finally feels like it is all moving along for us! Yay!

We have a slab now and Henley didn't waste time with sending the invoice!! Sent it before the slab was finished Re: Henley - Sahara 40 Build - Week 1 Day 3 Site Cut Done! 473Aug 09, 2017 8:18 pm ![]() Conslabulations!!! ![]() Thanks!! I got the invoice and on my way home a swing by and they were still finishing off the slab!! Lol!! So they were wanting money before it was finished Re: Henley - Sahara 40 Build - Week 1 Day 3 Site Cut Done! 474Aug 09, 2017 8:39 pm Mine was like that. They sent me photos of a wet slab with the invoice XD but I wasn't too fussed.. so I just paid it. How exciting!!
