Nobody tipped us off of any progress, so we just went to the site and here ya go...Oh it's slabbin all the way baby!!
I don't think the SS is here and I don't think these tradies do care, so I asked the husband if he could get a bit of what they are doing while I take photos of this beautiful slab.
If you were with me, I don't think you will see my excitement coz I was kick'n my feet, wavin my arms, and leanin forward in my bouncy! ^_^

| This is Waffle Pods slabs. The styrofoam works as formwork; better in clay soils as they sit on the ground not in it and the clay is free to expand and contract. They say foam would last 100 yrs out of the weather! |
 |
| Laying of concrete underlay and reinforcement in the beams and slabs |
 |
| Tradie's shoes need cleaning :D |
 |
| With the boxing in place and the mesh in the trenches, we just need the weather to hold until the concrete is poured! |
One week later....
 |
| If this slab has any cracks appearing, it's all because it didn't keep it wet enough! But alas, so far so good! |
 |
| With the boxing off, we can begin a better idea of what will go where... |
 |
| we tried out the step from the entry porch welcoming our guests! |
