All ready for the slab

The builders have been busy this week getting my block ready for the slab. It certainly is exciting seeing progress and watching it all come together. I will actually be a little disappointed when the perimeter fencing goes up because I enjoy having a look at what is happening. 

I took a good walk on the block this week as it was nice to see where everything will be. It also gave me a good idea of how much backyard we will have.  It looks so small though, so I am hoping it feels bigger when the frame goes up. I also went for another walk through the display home this week, and yes, I still love the design. 

This will be our backyard. We will certainly need a retaining wall at the back and probably on both sides as well. Not sure the budget was prepared for that. Sekisui House (the developers) have built a big retaining wall along the back of the blocks up the street from us but it stopped at the block next door. Would have been nice to have had ours done for us but I guess you cannot have everything. 

This is our backyard. Not big, but enough room for the dog and some grass which is all we need.

Site supervisor tells me the slab will be down Monday!
