Show me the money!

Well we've come to my first milestone... the slab. And of course, that also means paying out the big bickies! The bank finally came to the party, after many an annoying phone call by myself "hi, it's me.... calling for our daily chat.... do we have any money yet PLEASE??? No? Ok, I'll talk to you again tomorrow, then...". So finally it came through, we could pay the concreter and pay for the windows and so on and so on. We've ordered the frame and roof trusses, they should be here in approx 3 weeks. The bricks have been ordered. The roof and window frame colour has been chosen (Woodland Grey, in case you were wondering). The chippie and his trusty labourer (none other than bikeman) will then work their guts out to put the frame and roof up in a matter of about a week once the trusses arrive. The brickie will work alongside them to put up the garage, and the roofer will work somewhere in there also. And before you know it .... voila! We're at lockup. Wow. Another milestone! I wonder if it will look so *big* once the walls are up... surely not!

  1. I'm guessing it will look bigger once the walls are up. I can remember thinking our slab was tiny, much smaller than we expected and then we calmed down a bit when the frame went up. Just saying ;)
