Let the building begin.

And so begin.
The building task is finally on its way. First the slab preparations must begin. Would you believe we haven't had any rain until yesterday when the concreter was ready to start. So we are in a boggy mess yet again. With all the earth works I really hope the rain holds off at least for another week. So here is the bobcat doing his thing.



The morning started off with the bobcat breaking the sewage pipe so a plumber had to be called in whilst the earth movers dug up the damaged pipe. Luckily it was a quick fix and didn't hold up the work for too long.
Grahame has been busy starting to erect the fence for the fruit and vegie garden. Bloody birds and kangaroos, I wonder if they realise how much it's costing to keep them out of our vegie patch!

We should be able to have some regular photos now that the building is on it's way. I asked the concreter if it was a small slab because the mark out looked so small. He said " no it's bigger than The Shed including the verandah". I said "no way, no way will it be bigger than The Shed slab , it can't possibly be because The Shed is ENOURMOUS". So we'll see, it will be very interesting to see just how big it is.
On the home front, Tim competed in his first surf carnival on the weekend. He had lots of fun and now realises how much he has to work on his fitness. He partnered up with another young fella and together they did ok. Elliott and Harison have finished nippers for the season. So sunday mornings are now free again.
The school term ends on Thursday, one term down at their new schools. Allyson will be home for easter and so will the concreter!! He plans on being here over easter , what a dedicated tradesman.
