Olivia Katherine

Well, I know I said it was a quiet week on the site but in our lives it has in fact been a very busy and exciting week. One of the best in our entire lives in fact.

Wednesday 10^th August saw us welcome a beautiful baby girl into the world at 0857. Olivia Katherine Martin weighed in at 8 pounds 12 and measured 51cms. I have included a few pictures like the proud Dad that I am.

We have had a lovely visit from my parents, which was wonderful as we could share our experience with them. Being the proud grandparents they are she has already been showered with gifts.

External Drainage

As you may have gathered we are regular visitors to our site and noticed today that the external drainage has been completed and the pipes are all in place and capped ready for the next stage, framing!

After the external drainage there has been a bit of a week of minimal movement on site. Oh well we are assured by our site supervisor that things will spring into action next week with frame delivery first thing Monday 15^th August.

Slab poured

A couple of missed phone calls from our site supervisor on the morning of the 2^nd August gave us a hint there may be movement on the site. About 1100 we managed to get ourselves organised to drop passed the block and have a look. To our amazement there was a completed slab awaiting us a day earlier then expected!

The concretor’s have been a great crew from start to finish and have worked hard to get our job completed on time (a day early in fact).

It is hard to believe what a difference a few truckloads of concrete can make to our whole picture of the build and is such a boost for us.
