Construction materials arrived and are on their way

Wednesday morning we removed and cleaned the formwork and brought it back to the rental firm. After that we cleaned the area a bit. 

This morning the Q-Con G4 quality blocks arrived as well as already the roof tiles. Yesterday we picked up the septic tank and pipes for the soak away field and sewage system. We made a start with the electrical installation (grounding) and some sewage work. 

We have to wait two weeks for the additional 2000 L water storage tank with pump and four till five weeks for the hollow core slab prestressed floor panels. 
To wait for the last was a bit disappointing to hear, but it is the way it is. They are not used to work with this type of slabs for houses in the area we are building. So the had to be ordered far out. We discussed other options as well (as solid plank slabs or just pour a concrete floor) but we want to stick to the plan and drawings we made so... we wait. There is enough to do and maybe we take a short break in between. 

The materials arrived just on time because the weather forecast shows this afternoon and tomorrow rain so the land will be a bit muddy again.
