Don't the lower floor walls have to be bearing walls, built to support additional levels? I thought I read something like that somewhere... :think: So unless the walls were built that way, there would have to be additional support added somehow?

AUSTRALIAN
Well just finished spreading 12.5 ton crusher dust for the rumpus and garage slabs, concretors start formwork Thursday, pour monday week. Same time needed the plumber to fix some vents on the slab, so pulled my finger out and dug the new trench today for the sewer relocation. Again as the pour is monday week, needed this moved so can fill in my missing piers and have also started digging 7 new piers as i changed my mind on a few things

More digging tomorrow and clean up for the plumber, termite spray and concretors next week.

Well just finished spreading 12,500kg of crushed concrete/ bricks as a base under the concrete slab on the games room and garage. Concretors start formwork Thursday, pour monday week (9 days away). Same time needed the plumber to fix some sewerage vents under the garage slab, so I cracked the whip and dug a sewer conection trench so the plumber can reconnect the sewer connection whilst doing the garage sewerage vent. As the concrete pour is monday week (9 days away), needed this other plumbing work completed so while teh concrete pump is here with $hit loads of concrete, they can also fill my new additional piers as i changed my mind on a few things

More digging tomorrow and clean up for the plumber, termite spray to go under the slabs as a council requirement and concretors next week.

Sounds like it coming along nicely. James will be creating havoc in the rumpus room in no time! :D
