The building is rising out of the ground – most of the frame is done. So I got to walk around my house for the first time. The trusses and the garage will be done on Wednesday.

This was the first time I stepped inside my house. And yes, it does still count even though the walls aren’t up yet. These photos were taken on 20 August 2022.
The weather held out, and so now the slab is poured.
These photos were taken on 17 August 2022.
All the piping work has been done in preparation for the concrete slab to be laid. The slab will be laid in the week beginning 15 August 2022.

The builders were on site on Thursday to peg out the block. So now I have a really good idea where the house will be situated on the block.
These photos were taken on 30 July 2022.
The first thing that was done was the building block was scraped. You can see where the house is going to be. The pile of dirt will be used in landscaping.
These photos were taken on 26 July 2022.
After six months of waiting for paperwork to be finalised, the build is finally commencing. Here are some photos of the block just before the building commenced.

I wrote this story a few years ago while I was between jobs. I have posted the Introduction, and if you like what you read, you can go to the ‘Download the Book’ page where you will find a link to the iTunes bookstore. Or you can contact me via the ‘Contact Us’ page and I can arrange for a copy to be sent to you.
And for those who may wonder, this is a work of fiction; the characters and events are all inventions of mine.
Gabrielle Stephenson’s doubts about her career as a detective are brought into stark relief after she begins investigating the death of Elizabeth Stafford in a hotel room in Sydney’s inner city. The investigation takes her not just into the beautiful Southern Highlands in NSW, but also back to her troubled childhood in her quest to discover how Elizabeth died. Set in the bustle of a busy detectives office, Gabrielle must not only confront her own past, but also accompany Elizabeth’s family as they confront theirs. This story explores our relationships with our significant others and how they affect those in our orbit, including our pets.
