Afternoon all! And yes, we're running slightly behind schedule again, so I have two updates for you today - Day 5 and Day 6, but again, I'm going to try and seperate them out to do each of them justice 😊. Unfortunately that will be difficult with Day 5, as Nina and I visited the site late last night after I finished work, so the only photos we took were in the dark... such is the life of a shift worker unfortunately! Anyways, on to Day 5's update from Wednesday the 14th of December.
So, a lot happened today compared to Day 4... and as you'll see in the update for Day 6, I have evidence of orange spray paint on the silt fence 😂😜!! But more importantly, today saw the beginning and end of all underground plumbing efforts (at least the main ones), and this was one of those big ticket items to tick off before the slab can be poured.
It also saw the arrival of some prerequisite concreting materials such as steel reinforcing bar and the waffle pod polystyrene which must mean that the slab is not far off!! Lastly, we (or rather our Site Manager Eric) took receipt of a large pile of crusher dust/fine grey sand, which I'm presuming was used throughout the day to partially to fill the plumbing channels/trenches after the pipe work was laid. There seemed to be a fair bit left over, maybe 10 cubic metres, but I'm guessing this is to cater for any requirements on Day 6, seeing as the pile was just off centre to where the slab will soon be.
Here's a crappy pic we took late last night:
So that's pretty much all we have for you today! It's an eerie place to be at night, as most of the houses in our estate are still not quite finished, but it's nice to see a few dotted around with front lights on and families having moved in. Indeed our own neighbours on the right hand side appear to have just handed over their build with Stylemaster Homes (or are in the final stages of doing so) as we've seen moving trucks come and go over the last few days, and things like white goods arrive. Can't wait for that day to arrive for us!
Until 'tomorrow', being Day 6! Catch yas!
Matt & Nina
