We have a structure!

Of course it could only happen to us. We live in an area that has been quite severely affected by the drought. Our rivers have dried up, people have sold their livestock and we are carting water from the main town to our house every 2 weeks to fill our water tanks. And the week we were scheduled to have our slab poured - it rained, and rained and rained. We got about 50mm in the space of three days. The issue was not so much pouring the slab in the rain, but getting the concrete trucks up to the block - which is at the end of 15km of dirt road - without them getting bogged.

But here we are and not only now do we have a slab - but we have a house frame! Now its getting exciting.

The formwork and plumbing.
