Framework Begun

What a busy week it has been since the slab was laid. I'll try to be as brief as possible, but cover the main points.
  • The day after the slab was laid, I noticed Max and Molly's paw prints had been swiped over. Disappointment Plus. We now need to think of a new place to imprint.
  • The timber for the framework was delivered on the 16th of Oct.
  • On the 17th, we put down a deposit for our carpet and floorboards at Carpet Choice. What a great deal we got too.
  • This style

  • On the 18th, we had a slab party.


  • D. met our back neighbour when going for a toilet stop in the back corner of our block. A friend (W.) decided to kick a footy at D. as a joke and the footy went over the fence. Friendly neighbour went to give it to D. but D. had to explain his predicament of his 'hands being full'. We never found out anything more about this neighbour as I think both parties walked away a little embarrassed, but with grins on their faces.
  • The slab party began at 1pm and finished at 7:30pm after a couple slabs (of beer) were polished off and a couple people a little under the weather. By gee what beautiful weather we had for it though.
  • On Monday 19th of Oct the framework began. How quickly things seem to moving now. Yay for all this nice weather  !!!!

The guy in the picture was cementing where the setdown from the kitchen to the garage was too short and where the framework needed to be placed.
  • On the 20th, we received our 1st invoice for the base stage completion. It's the most exciting bill we have ever received.
  • As of today,
