From little things big things grow!!! Starting with a sand castle!
We progressed to a jigsaw puzzle....
Down went the plastic and the steel mesh reinforcement for the cement slab. Are you impressed yet? With my builders terminology I mean? I now know that the steel thingys are steel mesh sheets!! AND it is the reinforcement for the cement - I'm impressed!!
Heading off to work from ABs and Lo and Behold the men in the bright orange shirts were about to pour the foundations.........I zipped back for my camera and.......
.......... got to see the very first drop of cement poured.
Then there was a lot more but I had to continue on to school.
I would have loved to stay to watch the rest of the founds progress but had to wait...
Then finally a couple of weeks later we have half a house, or at least it looks more like it will become a house.
Our front door.
From the north looking into the back of the house, the open space is the alfresco. The floor of the second storey will be the roof of the alfresco.
