What perfect timing Tillie. Now you can enjoy the easter break while your slab settles. Looks great.

Congratulations Tillie! The slab is one of the most exciting days. Great Easter pressie, you'll be on a high for the whole long weekend now!

Hels · Apr 09, 2009 11:39 pm

Yay! for getting the slab just before Easter. Now it can sit and cure over the long weekend and hopefully your frame will start next week.
Time to crack open the champers

Here Here!! Congratulations Tillie!!

Thanks to everyone

I am off to the block today to have a good sticky beak taking heaps and heaps of pics too etc.. for the future pergola, driveway area.
I cannot believe how BIG the slab is on my block

, in the pic it looks like I have nothing but concrete on the block

Abbey_aj: That's great to hear that they have finally given your parents a time and hope that they stick to it. A friend's partner has made up a heap of alcoholic ginger beer which he said we are to have for a slab party

but I am not too sure what it shall be like

Ryan Oliver and Mundie Mansion: Thanks, I plan to enjoy my week and a bit off, probably will do more stalking than usual after the Easter break as I have some leave from work

Hels and Thorney: Definately will be cracking a bottle of something this weekend

Donuts: I was totally speechless when I drove up yesterday and saw it all finished, almost needed to make sure that I was at the right block as I have been mowing this block for about 6-7 years now and to finally be in the process of building my home I was really moved

I too hope that the frame shall start next week and maybe some windows, but we shall see

Hope that everyone has a great Easter

What a great shot. Looks like you may have been sitting out the front waiting!!!

Don't worry we are serial stalkers also and never get bored of what we see

Tillie · Apr 14, 2009 5:39 pm

Too true Mundie Mansion

Here is another pic of the frame awaiting for someone to put it up

Congratulations on the frame delivery

Hope it's full steam ahead tomorrow putting it together!

Tillie · Apr 14, 2009 9:07 pm

Thanks Fairy blue, I also hope that they will get a start on it tomorrow...The builders have been quite prompt with their work so far and I do realise that things do slow down at some stage, but I want it to go full steam ahead for as long as possible

Tillie · Apr 15, 2009 8:33 pm

I have been framed!!! I have been waiting for some time to be able to say that and now I can, well to a degree as the roof is yet to be put on

This is the front of the house

This is where the future pergola will go, there are two sliding doors off this side of the house

Wow, they have certainly got that up quickly. Roof won't be too far away now

lisanne · Apr 15, 2009 9:19 pm

Oh wow!!

Good to see things happening

Kenshi123 · Apr 15, 2009 9:51 pm

Wow that was quick! Awesome! Thanks for the pics Tillie. Hope your trusses go up as quick as your frame!
Good luck!

Tillie · Apr 16, 2009 4:26 pm

Well the trusses have arrived this morning and hope that they go up tomorrow. I also met my SS whilst visiting the house and he seems very nice, we had a walk around and asked him a few questions

Im sure your exctatic with the progress :z:

Tillie · Apr 16, 2009 4:40 pm

Yes Mellybuilding very excited as ther have been some hiccups along they way with the builder, however I hope that they are in the past now...
Ryan Oliver: I feel like a resident stalker as I am always taking pics daily too :oops:

I might add as I do not live that far away from the house.
Lisanne: Thanks and look forward to the start of your build.
Hels: I am getting very excited that things are moving along so nicely now.

Stormy · Apr 16, 2009 5:14 pm

Blink...and you'll miss it!!

You'll be in before me, Tillie, I'll bet you my left kidney!!! :lol:

Tillie · Apr 16, 2009 7:17 pm

Stormy.... Somehow I doubt it :wink:

My brother who is renovating a house is awaiting a kitchen, tiling to the wet areas electricals and other bits and pieces to be finished and he has even said that I will be in before him :shock:

I just cannot believe how I feel seeing the frame up and having a walk through my house

It was really nice to have met the SS also
