We have a house and carport slab! As well as all footings and the verandah stirrups concreted in. It was an amazing pour, starting at 6am in the dark. We had concrete trucks rolling in one after another, I lost count after 7 trucks as I left to go out - they kept going for another 3 hours!


Pouring - trucks lining up!


The lovely slab that I am responsible for watering for the next few days!

Our decking timber and hopefully the pine for the frames are being delivered on Monday so next week we should see some vertical action which will be nice... Can't wait to see our big deck start to take shape!

I try not to dwell too much on the disruptions but we still have the trenches for the downpipe catchment to the tanks and the hot water pipes to be installed so there are lots more holes to be dug.. looking forward to Spring to try and get some grass to grow again! Getting out of the house to the cars (which are being parked in the paddock away from the worksite) in mud and dirt with a toddler and a baby is not fun - its a test of my arm muscles and patience!


What my front verandah looks like and will for quite awhile yet!

About Me

My Photo
Amy
I am 30 years old, am a microbiologist with a PhD and love looking after my little farm. I compete in dressage and showjumping with my horses. I have a passion for shopping and a weakness for pretty clothes, shoes and handbags. My husband and I have a gorgeous toddler called Elka and a little bub named Bronte. I am a mother who works and has a career - just don't call me a "working mother". I don't do inside hobbies and craft and have only successfully sewn two things in my life that weren't ripped horserugs. The scientist in me makes me a little cynical and I am more likely to tell you about my life and events then give you a pretty polaroid style picture and an inspiring quote. Not for everyone but I have a bad memory and blogging is my way of recording life :)
