Rain, Rain go away....

Our slab was scheduled for tomorrow morning, but mother nature has brought the rain too.  Don't get me wrong, I love rain for all the good it brings, but we have been waiting so so long for the slab to go down and it hasn't rained in ages, not the best timing for us, everything is so mushy on the block!  Never mind, it will happen soon.

This is where we are at so far...





Once the rain clears, and we have a slab, I'll share some more pics.

Plumbing installed during Week 2!

So things seem to be moving along nicely.  This happened last week.  The main plumbing was installed and the frame guideline for the slab started too.  So exciting to see things happening.  I just hope they keep moving and we are in our home before Christmas this year!

Our front porch!

Right side of home, this is the living room at the front of the house and my son photo bombing!

Looking towards the front of the house, laundry will be here.

Foam and form work supplies delivered at the same time, ready for slab.

Our garage, which will have 2 steps to enter the home.


Slab coming next....

Week 1 - Action!

Well, it's taken a while since choosing our home back in June 2013!  Definitely didn't think things would take this long, but we finally have some action on our block.  The excavation started today and the port-a-loo has been delivered.

The piers are scheduled for tomorrow and we should have a slab by the end of next week!

An Empty Space

Here are some shots I took of our block.  People around us are starting to build and it's getting exciting!

Building to the left has commenced


After analysing so many builders, we have selected Clarendon to build our dream home.

Our selections and upgrades are next, oh the upgrades...

Hello

My name is Katerina and I've been meaning to start a blog for a while now.   I thought it would be a great way to look back and see how much life changes, because if there is anything I've learnt lately, it's that life is always changing!  I am a stay at home mum and need to brush up on my writing skills too.  We are also in the process of building our dream home and I wanted to add progress shots along the way, so welcome to my blog and enjoy the journey!
