Re: Tiawamutu's House Build

Got a message from the builder to say that the next step of the house build wouldn't happen until the slab had 'cured for some time' and the bricks were delivered

Anybody know how long it takes for a slab to 'cure'

More waiting? It's gonna kill me!

I think they like to leave it 7 to 10 days to cure. Ours got a damn good curing as it was 2 months till the bricks were delivered. But, don't worry once the bricks start the process seems to fly by. Our roof trusses are now finished, and the electrician goes in at the end of the week, then the colourbond goes on. I'm sure it will slow up again at lock-up though, but it actually looks like a house now which is quite exciting.
