From The Ground Up - Part 1

After buying our block almost two years ago, we have started to see some action over the past two months with plumbing going in, followed by the concrete.

Photobucket
Survey pegs in and ready to go.
Little high rise cities of plumbing to cater for the kitchen, laundry, bathroom and three ensuites.
Pipes for one of the kids' ensuites
Downstairs bathroom waste and water.
Trenches and mesh for lounge/dining area.
Footings ready for concrete.

More footings to be poured.

And more.
Yes ... footings filled!

The boys take advantage of the one of the piles of dirt removed during excavation.




Strip footing for verandah columns.



Brickwork wasn't part of the original plans, but due to the slope of the block, the builder and concreter decided it was better than a huge chunk of concrete. 

The brickwork changes allowed us to step down into the garage section of the house.




Filled, pest treated, water-proofed and meshed in preparation for the pour.
