Trying to keep people up to date with our build is nearly impossible. Hopefully this blog might make things a little easier...

Flooring

We had our flooring done by Choices flooring at Kotara. They were so easy to deal with and did an excellent job! 







Finally...

On 10 June 2016 we finally had our keys handed to us by MJH. 20 months after we initially decided to build with them.

Retaining walls, excavation and piping...

With mum and dads help we completed the retaining walls and handed the block back to the builders. Not a bad job if I do say so myself! 

The builders then needed to fill the block with 335mm as they had initially cut it wrong! 

This week saw the piping completed and getting ready for the slab to be poured. 

Though I'm guessing this wasn't supposed to happen... 

Next we will see the slab being poured and the frame up by Christmas...

Retaining continues...

Went back to the block today to continue  with our retaining walls, only to find out post holes filled with water from the recent rain. 

With the assistance of a water pump we finally got underway around lunch time. Unfortunately I missed getting a video of Jay trying to clear a blockage in the pump without turning the drive unit motor off... An upside to my day :)
