Retaining wall - Phase 2 - 3/2/2024

Onto the next part - Phase 2 of the Retaining Wall. This will create the platform and support the digging of the pool. Got a few servcies (storm water and sewer) to take care of which wont be too hard. Footings down by Tuesday, blocks in by Thursday, and core filled by Friday.

Received revised plans yesterday 27/7/2021 We are getting close to the final plans A few things to tweak -  1. Study to be made larger to better use the wasted space in the entry 2. Media / Theater to be reconfigured - TV to be placed on the external wall. Dual Swing doors to be replaced with Solid Core Cavity Doors. 3. Master WIR to be made larger (Wall indent to be flipped out) making the WIR square. WIR will then be large enough to split into a His and Hers WIR. Delete WIR Door and replace with Square set opening.

Builder # 2 Sketches / Layout / External and Internal Views

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.
