We finally have a slab, and a beautiful one at that. (Well, I think so.)
Bizarrely, the house seems much smaller than what we anticipated, however friends have commented that this is quite common- because your eye has no stopping point or something?!
However, I got out my measuring tape and measured, and it seems pretty accurate vs. the plan. Well, maybe 10mm out, but then I doubt my measuring is that accurate.
The back and side yards are much smaller than we thought, or at least it seems so... thanks to our oh so lovely tree at the front, which pushed the building envelope back. Oh well.
And, the depth of the slab at the back is 850mm, which means the house as a whole is quite elevated. Which is not a bad thing- should look good, and also give a good view of the forest at the back.
Here's Luka, running across the slab, in what will be the front bedroom.
And here's Abi, writing her name on the slab! For the archaeologists to find in 1000 years...
