The Piering was done day before yesterday and the preparation was carried out for the Slab concrete pouring yesterday. This morning we got the slab done on the site. The weather was just perfect for it. The coming 4-5 days are going to be sunny as well so that way it would be good for curing of the slab. The next week we are expecting that the frames will arrive and in the next two weeks, frames will be done hopefully. This is the first stage of the building as a matter of fact. I am sure we will get the invoice (20% of the cost of the build) for the same by tomorrow!
I met the SM (Site Manager), Jerome Mills in the morning who explained about all the upcoming schedules. He seemed to be very pleasant and understanding. He emphasised that he makes sure that the quality of the house is maintained and because of that there is delay sometimes as well. Looking at our site, his observation was that there should not be any major issues. The good thing is that he is running another project just near our house so we will be able to watch the progress on that house and understand what will happen to our project. As he suggested that if everything goes as planned we could have our first inspection of the house sometime in the early Oct. That would be fantastic. But I know there would be hurdles and quite some as a matter of fact so we just hope that we do not happen to get to any big issues.
As part of the slab concrete pouring there were only four guys and it took approx. 6 truck loads of concrete and may be 5-6 hrs to complete the whole process. I am surprised how quickly all this could be done these days...
