The image above is from the front of the house. All the waffle pods laid out and a start on the reo.
We positioned the angle of the house at 45 degrees to the front fence. This gives us better exposure to the north sun, open views and more presence on the land.
The back half of the slab is poured. Due to the size of the house and the soil type there is a construction join across the house. This has a supporting edge beam, termite protection and extra steel reinforcement. The two halves are poured on separate days with a break in-between.
They poured the back half first as per the engineering specifications.
The rebates are for our showers so as to give the flush floor tiled look.
The front half of the slab is poured. Yippee.
The concrete pads for the verandah posts were also poured this day.
The house and garage slab work took 9 work days. It was a big effort under challenging site conditions. The concrete was still wet when the house frame was delivered. Moving right along, hey.
