Our newly constructed house has no roof yet or slab because they are still building framework for it. My mother informed me that the lumber were not enough so they had one of the tree in our yard to be cut so they could finish adding the wood framework. Just the other day they already add steel bars to the framework and in few days they will probably pour cement on the pavement.
My mother told me that they need to hire more workers so pouring cement will just took one day because they will also rent a mixer rather than people doing the manual labor. I hope it could be done soon so our next project is house flooring and adding electricity line to the house.
Concrete roof is exactly what it sounds like, it is a solid slab of concrete capping the top of your house. Exact specifications vary, but most concrete roofs are several inches thick.

As what I thought our house was already with slab or roof last week but it turns out they are still constructing the frame for slab. My mother says they bought sets of lumbers and steel bars already, bags of cement will follow once the framing was done. I am bit excited because if our new house has already a roof my family can move in to our new house.
Hoping that I will get more opportunities in the next few months so I could help to improve our house more when the slab construction was done, like adding windows, doors and tiles.

Replacing a dimming or burned out light or the light cover in your refrigerator are simple tasks, but it is also necessary to change the refrigerator’s air filter every six months. The PureAdvantage and PureAir air filtration systems trap and neutralize the molecules that cause bad odors. The air filter door needs to be replaced if there are any cracks. The door to the refrigerator itself needs to seal tightly. To help the seal last longer, apply a thin coat of petroleum jelly to the seal hinges. When you need replacement parts or accessories, check out electrolux-store.com.

My mother informed me that they just bought two trucks of dirt for $20 each. They are piling the elevation while we have no funds yet to start constructing the slab of our house. Hopefully we could save before the month ends so after the slab we could start working for the flooring and tilings as well as finishing the walls.
There are still a lot of things to do before our house will be ready for occupancy which means we still need a lot of money for it to materialized. We are hoping that we could done it as soon possible before rainy season came.
