More Progress

We spoke with our SS today about some of the issues relating to the overhang and extra 20mm on the slab, Our SS seems to have everything under control, and nothing currently is going to make the world stop. Which is great news.

After the framing is complete they are going to look at the 2 sides where the step down is, and see if they need to add anything further to strengthen that area.

Otherwise Under control (Case of Beer on that Bet Ryan).

My Wife went down today and captured some more progress shots, we had Door frames and Windows Delivered today, and the power is being connected tomorrow to assist the carpenters in putting the frame up (Battery power is only going so far).

Yes, I'm that guy!

We had the SS call me the other day to inform me there was a slight issue with the slab and frame, however it would have a work around of either cutting/grinding back the slab where the Red arrows are, or modify the frame to achieve the same outcome.


However that then got me concerned, if there is 1 error in the slab, there must be more. I checked where the Green arrow is in the top photo and found that the Frame running down the outside of the house overhangs by 20mm for about 2 Metres before it becomes flush again.



I have sent photos to my SS about this to see what he can say about that, as this is not the initial problem that was raised to me. Fingers crossed as I think the Concrete guys failed Math's and Electronic Lasers!

Another error in the slab I found early on was the finish on this part of the slab near the Alfresco, Slippery dip.


Was told they can work around this, but still is it that hard to make something level>?
