The building work next door continues...

All of a sudden, I notice that there has been lots of progress on the 7 houses being built next door but before I can post about this last week, I'd better bring you up to date with what happened the week before!! I call it a 'week of concrete'! lol
I woke up on the Monday morning to the sound of circular saws...
 The workers were doing the 'boxing' , obviously ready for a concrete pour...

The view from my sewing room/spare bedroom...

There was some more digging going on at the back of the property...


Later in the morning the big truck with the concrete pump arrived...



The slabs are poured, house by house...

This view below, from my sewing room, shows the floor slabs for houses # 2-7...



The next photo was taken on the front veranda and is looking towards the back of the site and house #1

The workers move in to finish off the slab surfaces...


The plywood boxing was removed the next day...

The slabs show just how small in area each level of the houses will be...

Those iron rods poking out of house #1's slab will be inside the bricks of the walls...

A sunset from the front veranda...where we still have quite a lovely view in the distance...
Quite a lot of progress has been made on the site this week but I'll leave that to another post!
