Well after several weeks of slab curing and no action the timber has finally landed onsite and the framing has started. They started yesterday and expect to be finished the walls by tomorrow. The roof frame is expected to be put up next week.

Now if only the weather would let up a bit as it has been pouring with rain for a couple of hours with more rain expected over the next several days. The builder has surrounded the slab with gravel so that the brickies dont have to ramble over the rubble surrounding the house and will hopefully keep the mud down if this rain persists.

Stellar also replaced the small chunk out of the slab and could not find any visible damage caused by the demolition clowns bobcat driven over our green slab.
We also had a discussion regarding architraves which Stellar had intended on placing around all windows. Once Louise and I understood the intention of putting up Colonial architraves in our modern home we explained again the look we were after and requested that the windows have no architraves and gyprock reveals instead (bathrooms to have jolly cut tiles). Stellar Homes were most accommodating and have agreed to this as a no cost variation. We are confident that Stellar can produce a quality finish on the reveals and the look we were after.
Nice to see some action onsite and Louise gave the contractors some cake to celebrate her birthday.
