At the end of Week 1, progress has definitely taken place although I'm not 100% sure they are on track for the slab to go down Monday - that might get pushed back to Tuesday.
Here is the basic run down of what happened this week:
• Cut & fill of block
• Silt traps put out
• Edges of house pegged out on block
• Initial plumbing works
• Temporary meter box installed
• Temporary toilet placed at front of site (ugly looking thing too!)
• Trenches for footings started
• Delivery of steel for slab and footings
At this stage no rock has been hit and I have again queried the earthworks charge given that no additional equipment or labour was required.
The only 'surprise' so far is what the cut/full has revealed - there is quite a decent fall away from the house to the back fence and we will need to do some retaining and landscaping out the back to make the most of the space. But nothing that can't be worked around.
I have put some photos below of the progress over this last week.
