The slab work continues with the waffle pad getting prepared. Steel is placed down and then polystyrene blocks are placed on it with steel above.

Our glass fence and part of our retaining wall had to get removed and was completed today.

I drove past the house this morning and saw more work being done . The piers are awaiting.

Slab preparation and tiger tails (week 1)

It is so exciting to go past the house each day this week and see work being done.

There are bricks and tiles at the back of the house .

The tiger tail that goes from our neighbours property to across the road got fitted today.

Very heavy rain is expected from tomorrow (Friday) to Sunday. I hope it does not delay anything

Peg out

This is what I found after pegout. I was rather concerned that the peg was close to the pool and thought the house was going to be right on top of the pool. I was then told that it was providing for the scaffolding so I was relieved.

Demolishment

We got quotes for quite a few companies but the one that seemed to get the most positive reviews was Democorp. It was not the cheapest and they would not price match even though they said they would. They said the comparisons were not against reputable companies.

We landed up paying $660 more for more Asbestos they found and $1350 to remove 12 m tree.

Landed up having a huge argument with the guy in charge and he swore at me as I called to have his temporary fence removed as Eden Brae wanted there fence on the property. it got ugly but the fence got removed and will never recommend that company to anyone!
