Is that a slab or are you just happy to see me?

I love the smell of concrete in the morning!! The trucks rolled in from 6 a.m. this morning bringing with them the concrete for the slab and an extremely early awakening for the neighbours!

We arrived just after 8 to see a third of the slab already poured.



We got the impression that there wasn't much we could do to help so we went to McDonalds for breakfast!

Several hotcakes and McMuffins later we came back to check the progress...

Again, after offering our services and support, we were still not able to assist. So off we buggered vowing to return.

Within an hour or so the lads had basically finished. The slab seems enormous, a lot higher than we thought. We may need a monster truck to make it up into the garage. It is really exciting to see it coming out of the ground already. It looks like a bigger house than the one we ordered, but just like a bank error in your favour, we'll keep it until someone forcibly removes it from us or we go to jail.



Next up is the frame. We are not getting too far ahead of ourselves though... just taking things one week at a time.
