You say po-tay-toe, I say po-tah-toe.

Well Peter, our independent inspector,  went out on site this morning to inspect the form work done. He only just managed to whirl through an inspection before the concreters arrived to start pouring our slab! This rush could have been avoided, had Peter been able to obtain the details of the concrete firm and establish exactly when they would be pouring the concrete. There have been some noses out of joint, I think, by our decision to bring in a third party inspector, particularly from our Site Manager. Exasperated also by Peters attempts to speak to the site manager directly through repeated calls to Metricon.  Anyway we have now spoken to the site manager, who initially made his opinions clear, but then seemed to come around to our reasoning and our rights. He has promised to call us every Wednesday (we'll see), and have a "meeting" before completion of the frame stage. On a good note though, Peter said there weren't any real problems. He's taken photos and we'll receive the report in the coming days.

And did I mention we now have a poured slab?!!! That's a bit exciting. We'll be dancing on the base this weekend! Expect some photos very soon.
