My first call call to our site supervisor on Tuesday was great - he seems like a friendly guy and immediately lifted our spirits with the news the frame would be delivered the day after, followed closely by the steel. He said the erection of the frame should start before Wednesday next week and that he was aware the pace needs to be lifted due to the delays we have experienced.
We stopped by the site early Thursday morning which just happened to coincide with the delivery of steel and our SS being onsite. It was great to meet him for the first time and have a walk onsite.
I hadn't really paid attention to the quantity of steel in the engineering plans for the house, but it was amazing to see the amount of steel delivered - I thought the truck had multiple deliveries to make, but it was all ours! There are 19 beams, with the largest being 6570mm long and many in the 5230 to 4215mm range.
We also got our long awaited quote for tiling upgrades when we visited the showroom after taking over 4 weeks! The quote was higher than we expected, though not surprising given the finishes we are after and the fact that the only tile selected within the builders range was the tile for the alfresco, porch, and patio areas.
Here are some of the pictures...
