Today the slab for the castle was FINALLY laid. The concreters were on site all day; from about 7:30am. I left site about 3:30pm and there was still lots happening. There has been anywhere from 6-9 guys working hard on the slab all day. About 9 trucks of concrete were pumped into forming the slab which was amazing to see. I today delegated mysel the role of the unofficial pour supervisor. I sat outside the site for a considerable amount of time in my deckchair, KFC in hand watching the site operations. I am amazed at how meticulous they were to ensure everything was done correctly and to a high standard. I think the fact I was around may had something to do with it. This afternoon our rubbish cage and some framing timber was delivered to site. It will be interested to see what happens next. But now to organise a slab party! I can thank our new friendly neighbours chase_l for that idea! 🥳 🎈 🎉 🍷 🍻 Re: Build Feed: Hallmark Homes - Vouge 298 - Caboolture QLD 16May 09, 2019 7:14 pm Photos from today's activity on Lot 9 Hammond Crossing.

It has been fun visiting the site and being able to show the kids where each of the rooms are.
