And we’re off

So the site cut happened last week and you can now get a better idea of how the house will be placed on the land.  The house is a lot closer to the street than I had been thinking so I am really glad now that we have no footpath, just a really wide verge. The driveway seems a bit steeper than we had thought but not much we can do about it now!!

By Tuesday the retaining wall posts were in, as was the electricity box and, of course, the very important portable dunny had been delivered.  On visiting tonight the retaining wall is finished, complete with aggy pipe and coria.  Hoping that the underground plumbing will go in next.  We were originally told that the slab would probably be done next week, not sure how realistic that is……
