Photos from week starting 22nd November

Compare these photos with last week and you can see what can be achieved if it doesn't rain for a week.  Now that summer is really here we are hoping that progress will really accelerate.

The ground slab is being prepared for the concrete pour

The black plastic sheet acts as a damp proof membrane.  The reinforcement is under the line of the load bearing walls

Now that the east retaining wall has been backfilled we can see the full footprint of the house

The walls of the swimming pool are also being prepared by fixing the geotextile material and drainage sheets

All the underground drainage pipes have been installed

We got our car back from the garage as well.  Although it was covered by insurance it still cost us $970!
