    Did Allworth do the driveway for you? We're also building the Concerto with them (http://glenmorepark-ridgetop.blogspot.com) but apparently they wouldnt allow us to engage any other tradesmen (like the driveway people) until after handover.

    Congrats on the handover! Love reading about other people's experiences! My partner and I are looking into building an Eden Brae home. I'm writing a blog myself - http://strawsticksandbricks.blogspot.com/ But its more about design at the moment than anything else. Its fun though. Good luck with your home! Love advice

Reo, Slab, Plumbers and a huge pile of gold... ( I mean dirt!)

Hi everyone, Sorry for the delay in keeping this blog updated! A few different things have happen since then. 1. The plumbers put in our plumbing drain/ hole things in all the wet areas. After that the reinforcement and waffle pods were laid. To quote Tom ' what the hell are waffle pods?’ Well waffle pods are big foam box looking things they put down before they lay the concrete. This is a cheaper option as they don't need to use as much concrete. Apparently you need to be careful if you jack your car up in the garage as the concrete might crack! Oh well! We didn't have an option waffle pods are standard these days and I guess they have been working for many others! 2. After they laid the reinforcement and waffle pods they then poured the slab. Hooray for a slab, it now looks more like a house then a patch of dirt! :) It's a nice looking slab! (Ok slightly bias!) 3. Yesterday the plumbers came and did something! They laid pipes around the outside of the house. I guess ...
