Slab Party!!!

Mick and I guessed our slab was done yesterday as we received a rather large invoice for the first progress payment...woohoo..?


So, we drove past the block and, rather enthusiastically, took a million terrible photos in the dark :) Here are a few: 




Luckily, in an unlucky sort of way, Mick was off to have his car looked at after we were the victims of a car-park hit-&-run the other weekend, so he was able to take some daytime pics this morning. Introducing our new slab:





I know a lot of people have been looking forward to this day, especially Mick. But I'm most looking forward to being able to walk on it! Surprisingly it looks small at the moment, but I have it on good authority that it looks larger when you're on it (thanks SandS). But it does look rather thick, which we think is because it is a H-Class slab.

Here's to progress!
