5-04-08 Waffle pods and reo mesh

Went out on the weekend and the slab was FAR from complete. The temporary fence has been erected and the Reo Mesh delivered.


… the waffle pods have been dropped off… (FYI – waffle pods are large sections of foam. These are laid as part of the slab and the concrete is poured over and around them. Saves the builder using a heap of unnecessary concrete to achieve the same thickness)… The cherubs loved picking the foam to pieces :-)




….and the footings and piers have been dug. The image below shows the footing for the Balcony.

Our Site Super 'F' rang and introduced himself today. Seems like a nice bloke. He said the slab is being poured on Tuesday - bring it on.

We try not to mention names on our web site but guess who our site supervisor is???

What a shame the slab wasn't poured. I get the impression that wherever you're building is a bit of a hike from where yo're currently living, so it's disappointing that it wasn't poured! Once they put the pods in and place the bars, they have to pour within a few days (apparently), so it will be soon! Our slab was poured today (10 days late!) Once they start, it's so quick! LOL about your girls picking the foam apart!

Yes, shame that slab wasn't there for you all to see, although judging by the photos the girls enjoyed the pods more than they would have the concrete ;-) But I think Mum and Dad would have enjoyed the concrete more.

Let's hope they move quickly so you can see it next weekend.
