We have a frame!!!

Well what a difference a week makes!  We started with a slab and 3 days later we had a house.....a very exciting week.

    Day 1- first storey

    Day 2 - 2nd storey!

    Day 3 - a roof and windows

   The front door!!!

It looks amazing - we couldn't be happier. This is a new design by Wisdom, and there is no display home to look at, so this was the first time we could actually walk around the house and see how all the rooms work together. It's stunning and everything we wanted. 

I was particularly worried that the living/dining room was going to be too small but it looks huge...big relief!

We were just getting over all the action this week when we went for a look this morning and the bricks had been delivered. This was followed by a call from SS to say the Brickies will start Monday or Tuesday. I can't believe how quickly it is all going now. Hopefully we will be at lock up before Christmas and, fingers crossed, all finished for Easter. Exciting times ahead

We have a Slab!

Well the week we have been waiting for for so long finally arrived - our slab was poured!!! 

 

    Here are a few pics...

 

    This is the gap from the Alfresco to the pool - about 3 metres.

    Its so big I couldn't get it all in 1 picture.  This is the garage side

The view from the back of the block.  Those are the Blue Mountains in the distance - we are hoping that a single storey is built across the road so we will have a good view from our balcony (fingers crossed).

 

 

The slab was poured last Saturday (12/10) and since then the external drainage has been completed (in the rain would you believe) and the frames have been delivered all ready for the carpenters to start on Monday.  It is crazy how fast it is moving now. 

 

Even more crazy is the communication from Wisdom - our SS calls every week with an update and lets us know the plan for the next week. If only we had this service from the beginning.  We did laugh though when we received the request for the slab payment the day after it was poured. They have never been so quick with the paperwork before - they must want some money lol. 

 

We are officially loving the construction phase and are slowly beginning to forget about the painful Admin process...
