House Construction Part III


Quick work progress update.

Got the roof on! Keeps the rain out and we can managed to lay the floor slab getting ready for the start of the walling. The roof is a major piece of work to get complete. Don't ask me about safety features. Non starter....
And then straight on with the flooring. Needed a concrete truck with pre-mixed concrete to make a quick and indeed a tidier job of it all. Went really well. It is so easy for the men to have it arrive than mix by hand. Which they were prepared to do! Job was completed in a morning.
Now off to buy windows doors etc. Walling to commence tomorrow....

Your builders are making very good progress!

Now, you said that you will be supplying the doors & windows...is that a typical arrangement for house building where you live, or are you doing that to better control the quality of materials [or some other reason]?

Very interesting posts.
