Here was our block before settlement - the orange electrical pipe is where the lamp post will spring to life.
After settlement, with the addition of fences and water taps (it's the little things). At least we didn't have to pay half of what the real fence cost us for temporary fencing. We did however have to talk to South East Water to have the water taps moved 600mm to the left (away from the driveway), or we would have run over them at some point.
The site scape... The turning of the sod... Yay the building has begun! We like the look of the soil... Just hope they don't take too much of it away!
It's a concrete slab! The house has a good foundation, it sits nice and high on the block, so we won't feel as if our house was built into the ground (one of our personal dislikes is when you see a house that looks like an iceberg; with more underground than above).
