Footings,

Here is the lovely start to the blog on building mums house.

Some of you may ask where the name of the blog came from! Well Mums house is on Wandering way. And well Mum also says she does like to wonder.. just ask mum how many of the last 7 nights she has slept in her own house! Right mum! Thats okay we love the company around.

So as most of you know construction is underway on mums house. It started on saturday when a bunch of us went to the block to lay some footings! Nothing like digging a couple trenches around the block. It was very handy that cody had 6 boys sleep over.. made the work go by pretty quickly. The hard and long task came when we had to lay the boards down. That was a bit of work. Most of us had to leave so Willem and Mick were left with most of the work, Sorry about that boys. But apprently they got it all done.

As far as I can remember Will was saying that the plumber was coming in today to hook up all the pipes so that we can get ready to lay the pad. That is set to be put in on Friday morning. Willem and a few of his men are going to be there bright and early to pour it! I guess I will have to get there to get some photos!

Here are some photos so far! Enjoy!
