Piers concreted
Pier holes were filled with concrete, and the beautifully smooth cut and fill turned into a swamp.

Site attacked by giant moles!
Holes for concrete piers were bored today
Due to underground clay and the filled in swimming pool the house is being built on a combination of concrete piers and screw piles

And it starts....
So the builder officially started on site yesterday, and stuff is happening at last. The last few weeks have had a fair deal of backwards and forwards with some contract variations to correct a few inconsistencies, and we have signed off on the final drawings.
We also received our fixed site costs, which much to our surprise were less than the original estimate, despite the fact that the foundations are going to be going onto 3m deep piles (a mixture of screw piles and concrete piles)
