Week 3 - taking shape

Another very productive week, and quite impressed at how much Carter Grange's carpenter Mark and his team have achieved in just 6 days (yes, they were on site Saturday)... the house is now taking shape with the ground floor frame, steel beams, ground-first floor cover and front part/facade of the first floor frame done.

... to Saturday afternoon

from Monday morning...

Week 2 - we have a slab!

Estimated timeframe for base stage: 4-6 weeks... actual completion of base stage: 2 weeks!!

Form work and concrete pour all done in 3 days!... and yes, we have a slab ☺ very impressed Carter Grange

Week 1 - site's ready

Happy to say that trades have been on site pretty much every day including Saturday, and happy to see the progress... looks like all underground drains, plumbing & slab piers are done, and we have a meter box! Keep up the good work Carter Grange ☺

Site Start date!

Well, I guess Carter Grange wasn't kidding when they called this morning to say that today's our official build start date, as works on site have already started this afternoon!... cut and fill is under way...

Happy Anniversary :)

Final drawings signed & submitted and now officially into 'construction stage'! Happy anniversary to us ☺... now just waiting on build start date to be confirmed.

Fence up & permit granted!

There was a bit of confusion between the demo company and CG surrounding the fence, but glad to see the nice Carter Grange fence is finally up!... and more importantly, we've been advise the building permit has been granted by council... just as well! ☺

Demolition completed

Took a little while to get started, but the team at BR Demolition have done a great job and have been a pleasure to deal with, and the demolition has now been completed!... never thought I could be so happy at the look of dirt ☺
