The Waiting game

Well the guys have finally returned to take the 2nd measuring with the internal block wall for the pre-cast slab so now its sit and wait time.. Ha ha yeah right.
Do you know what size openings for the chimneys, stairs, do you need any others??
Have the lads come back to build up internal walls and fireplaces?
what way are you going to screed off on top of the pre-cast floor?
Has the garage started yet, so you can finish that off and store the supplies in a safe and dry corner.
What are they going to ask you if you've decided on next?
Window sills is my next adventure, and then onto ensuite layouts for plumber before he comes back in 2 weeks time.

And don't mention the rain.
Terrible 2 weeks of wet weather, hardly a row of blocks go up each day. Yesterday 20th the guys were in full swing and 3 additional rows appeared on some walls.
ICF cutting out is fun.... Blocklayers ahve to clear a run each day on the ICF wall to tie the block wall into the concrete. I think i'll have to start chiselling away at the chimney spaces that need to come out. 2 sections of 5 ft by 9ft. that will take a while. My first major job on the house, roll up the sleeve and tuck in!
