Our Carpenter Mick called to advised that our Trusses were arriving today. Mid-afternoon the first of two Trucks arrived. Trusses are ready for the Carpenters on Monday.

All done. 
Thanks to Leigh Bradford and the team at M B Pre-Fab Framing Pty Ltd our fantastic Roof Trusses

Now, an hour later, rain, rain and more rain. Timing was perfect!

Have achieved quite a lot in exactly three weeks since the pouring of the Slab. However, the Bank balance is decreasing as quickly as the structure is increasing.
