Lots of work over the last few weeks. The pool pavers and coping (Atlantic Grey Marble) has been installed. Work has also started on the tiling. Very close to being finished.
Builder #2 has come back with the results of my hand drawn sketches I provided. Happy to report the diagrams and views have exceeded my expectations. Being able to see the external and internal views is really helpful to get an idea of what the house will look like once finished. The Kitchen, Dining, Living, Alfresco are perfect, and exactly how we envisioned them. The slope is a challenge and it was good to see my idea of 2 separate splits in the ground floor was feasible and achievable. It does introduce another Drop Edge Beam to the design but the benefit is less cut and fill, plus the house will be more livable long term. We have requested some minor tweaks with the WIP, Guest Bed, Bed 2, and Bed 3 all to be increased in size which the builder is working on now. This will take the house up to 42 sq.
With the services pipe issue solved early this morning, the guys smashed it out in the heat today. Starter bars, trench mesh, and the pour of the footings. The placement of the wall will net us around another 27sqm of land. Worth the effort and the expense.
