Our Plaza 49 @ Sanctuary Lakes: We've been framed!

Amazing progress over the last week. Just 3 days after the pour, the guys were back on site to backfill the footings. That was a huge relief because I was wondering how I would get the levels back without pouring hundreds of dollars into the hole. Fortunately, the levels are looking reasonably good and I can once again visualise how the landscaping, pool etc will look.

Sonia had a call from out new site supervisor, Matt, on Tuesday 8th December. He introduced himself and said that the frame had been delivered to the site and that the framing would begin that very day. Yes, everyone has an opinion on leaving the slab to set, not leaving the frame exposed over the Xmas break, blah blah blah....but it's such a good feeling to see real progress being made. True to Matt's word, we took a walk to the site that evening and found that work had indeed commenced.

The next day (Wednesday) our house took on a third dimension and started rising from the ground. Awesome feeling! After so much stress and grinding delays, it is now starting to come together. Matt assured us that the build would proceed smoothly (...only time will tell), and that the frame would be complete by Chrsitmas. Very happy with that. Its's been non-stop over the past week and the tradies were even there on Saturday (probably much to the dismay of our fellow islanders!). Keep it up PD....you may yet redeem yourselves. Here is a sequence of pics showing work over the last week.
