Week 4 - Pipes are in

After almost a month after the site start, we now have drainage pipes.

Several large rocks were also removed from the site. Removal of these large rocks from the ground is one of the biggest cost components of house building here in the land down under. Depending on the result of the soil test and how rocky (?) is your lot, site costs ranges from $15k to more than $50k.

Good for us that our builder have tested the block already prior to offering to us the house and land package. Hence, our site cost is already fixed even if they will find a rock as big as Tasmania in our block.

Here are some pics taken today.
