This is where we're at today. The boxing/form work (I'm a true builder now) is complete and concrete is due to be poured by the end of the week. The slab is all laid with polystyrene, which is called a waffle slab (not a poly-waffle slab, what idiot would say that?!), it's all new to me, but apparently it's all the rage.
We have Peter from Finalinspect braving the cold tomorrow morning to inspect our slab pre-concrete and he'll be back out there again on Saturday to inspect the poured concrete- hopefully there aren't too many problems. We're really looking forward to the frame stage, when things start getting a little more 3D.
I know about this waffle slab. Its to use less concrete and stops lots of cracking and movement. Tradies are always late. All of them. :)
