Well, SLAB me silly!





WE HAVE A SLAB! One day off of the originally scheduled date (not too shabby) and we also had our weekly update call today to inform us of what is going on with the site. Without exact dates, we have been told that the framing of the house will begin "early next week" and "will be completed by late next week." We were floored by that statement! I know building materials have been ordered and the frame is pre-cut, but wow! That's phenomenal. Next stages after that will be Brick and then roof, so the exterior and general build of the house will happen very fast, which is great. We look forward to snapping progress shots daily and updating you ALL on the changes. For now, check out the solid foundation!

Looking good guys, we are almost there too, if I read it correctly, you are also building Carynia as well.

We have our contract next week (22nd), and hope to be in a same stage as you guys in 1.5 month.

We will keep a closer eye on your blog to get some experience and wish you the best of luck.
Cheers,
Houman

Hey, Thanks for the encouraging comments! We are looking forward to this all coming together and have been very excited as things seem to happen daily now. Don't know what I'll do with myself when they eventually slow down, but for now, we're enjoying every minute!
Houman, we're actually building the Riviera, a 2 story house, but it is also with Henley, so best of luck in your venture and we'll be sure to keep an eye on your blog!
