Electrical supply

Steve from Lidd electrical organised for the three phase supply to the house to be trenched and run.  Just a few photos of the finished work.

Unfortunately the electrical supply and telephone conduit was unable to be placed through the slab.  This was requested at selections stage, but Homestead was very firm that they would not do this. The only approach they would allow was to run the services to the side of the slab and use a junction box and metal cover.  Not the most visually pleasing option!

Slab pour

Early the following Monday saw a large concrete pump being set up at our block.  We visited the site and the concrete crew were well into the pour, with three concrete trunks queued on our street, ready to pour.

Things progressed well, with the team finishing around 4pm. All up, 10 trucks & approx 95 cu meters of concrete.

We have a loo!

We had a port-a-loo delivered the day our trenches were completed.

Footings

A phone call from Margherita from Prestige Footings on Thursday evening and we are away.  She confirmed that they would be onsite first thing Friday morning.  All progressed well with much delight from our 2 y.o. to see another digger on site!  All trenches were completed on 08/Sep.

The following day (09/Sep) plumbing work for waste water drainage was completed.
