Taking Shape

Well the house is definately starting to take shape. The Atkinson SNR were in JHB this weekend and we took them (with Mike & Laura +kids) to our construction site. The kids had a ball playing in the building sand while we gave the guided tour. Gareth was having such a lot of fun and when it was time to leave many tears were shed! As far as progress goes, our plans have finally been submitted to council - today - and we have appointed a structural engineer. All the trenches for the foundations have been dug and now need to be inspected. Basically we are ready to pour concrete but A) need council approval and B) need the engineer to sign off. In the meantime I suppose we will need to keep on with the internal alterations....... Errol - the prodject manager- has been getting quotes and planning the building schedule. We had a marathon meeting with him on Thursday evening and eventually got home at 1am!!

In a nutshell........so far so good, no major wroughts and we are still enjoying ourselves!!!!!
