House Setout - Check

I had the house and the garage professionally setout today.  It was quite brisk onsite at 7am when I arrived to brief the contractor.

It's so crucial to get this right so Steve and I felt it should be done by someone with lots of experience. In the end there is so much other stuff going on in our lives that we couldn't have done it ourselves anyway.


The rain is still playing havoc with the schedule. And I may well have to order in more rock for the driveway in order to support the 25 tonne concrete trucks!  The joy (and challenges) of building on acreage.


Tomorrow the plumbers will be starting the slab drainage.  It's still raining so I don't know how they will go back-hoeing the sticky clay soil but I'll definitely find out.


The schedule is tight but if all goes to plan the slab preparation will start next Tuesday Oct 8th and they should be out of there by Tuesday Oct 15th.  I have a couple of days contingency up my sleeve before Harkaway start the framing process on Monday Oct 21st.


All systems go.
