Day 8

After the site was cut last Monday, there was daily activity at the block all week. By Friday they appeared to be on schedule to pour the slab today, just as the site supervisor had advised.  

We headed off on a day trip to the Sunshine Coast on Saturday with me contemplating whether I would sneak down and watch the slab pour today or not. As we had my sister visiting from Melbourne, we decided to swing past the block late Saturday afternoon to find......

Lo and behold, they poured the slab on Saturday! So the first phase of our build was completed in six days. It looks like we will be getting a rather large invoice for Christmas. 

It was so exciting to wander around and imagine ourselves living in all of the rooms and to start to think about the landscaping. We have a lot of work ahead of us but I think it will be very rewarding to see it all come together.

We don't expect to see any more work on the build until mid January, but I'm sure that will come around very quickly given how the rest of the year has flown by.

We are both looking forward to some downtime over Christmas. It has been a hectic year to say the least.
