Footings

Mick the builder called us at 5pm this afternoon and told us to come up to the block and have a beer as the footings were being poured.
We dropped everything, threw the kids in the car and off we went..

Sorry i couldn't resist..

I stopped counting at 6 but i think they used 6 concrete truck loads to pour just these footings. Massive!!

and another one

It is about 630pm now and it is tools down for the truck guys

concrete-rs on the phone to their boss/or wife telling them they still are not quite finished yet

Still going at 7pm

Terrible shot as i am only using my blackberry. Santa is bring me a iphone4s for xmas

These guys still had a drive back to Brisbane, as that is were they are based.

 So tomorrow will bring plumbers and brickies. Brickies should be finished by Wednesday lunch and then Thursday will be preparation for Friday's slab pour.

It is so exciting finally seeing everything come together.
I am sure once the slab is down and the New Year is here it will be finished in no time...

 We spotted another huge house today tucked away in Jabiru Estate Mudgeeraba where blocks alone start at $875,000.00

 I am really loving the timber and i am still heading towards the darker window frames....

Decisions decisions,

Pen :)
