Day 37 of 266

Our frame was scheduled to start last 11 September, but our site supervisor rang to advise that it had been moved towards the end of the week. This was perfectly fine with us as we heard that slab which are water cured for longer period are stronger and more durable. Our site supervisor said that they usually start the frame at least 3 days after slab pour and it was just because of availability of framers that we got moved a bit and just consider it a bonus that we got extra curing time.

We drove by our site last Thursday and it was busy with frame material delivery. When we checked on Sunday, no frame was up yet, but the slab has been marked with room partitions and all our timber are all well wrapped up.   

I was so surprised to see the progress when I visited today and I really couldn't wipe the smile off my face. I was just hoping that they would at least have started and didn't expect the work they have done already in just 1 day.

 

I'm so happy at this stage that our slab has been well rested and cured for 21 days and our timber materials for frame was delivered at the right time and haven't sat in the rain too long.
