Concreting of the Slab - Scheduled today

I asked my wife to visit the site to see if workers are there. True enough a mixer was on standby. She didn't go down to check further but seeing people working on site is already good news for us since any
rainfall does affect the schedule.

Then this afternoon, I emailed the customer service rep of the builder and she confirmed that today is the day. I asked Joanna to pass by after picking up the kids. Hopefully a few snaps. If not I will be there on-site tomorrow.

Still a lot of things to finalise:
1. Kitchen plans still not finalised with the builder with minor difference of what was discussed with the contractor and what is reflected on the plan.
2. Electrical - still working at finalising the details of the lighting and upgrades we want. Hopefully finalise it within the next week so we can get a new quotation. So far, the pricing for the AC is slightly
better than expected.
3. FHOG application details
4. Landscapes and driveways.
