Day 37: Still Waiting

Concrete hasn't been poured yet. It was scheduled for this week but the rain on Monday plus Australian Day public holiday pushed it back to next week.

The Steel Mesh & expansion joint have been delivered this afternoon, so hopefully we'll see some action soon.

Looking forward to the moment I can park my car in the garage, or at least on the driveway.

Day 27: Concreting

The concreter was back on site & laid the crushed rocks.

Concrete is to be poured next week, the concreter apologised for the delay due to the heavy rain last week, they are playing catch up now.

Day 26: Driveway

Finally we are going to get a driveway & cross over soon. They came to cut & fill the site yesterday and I'm hoping the concrete will be poured at the end of the week or early next week. We have to wait for the Council to give a green light with the base work for the cross over before the concreter will pour the concrete.

Rain Rain Go Away

Been busy moving into the house, we did the big move on 27 Dec 10.

The Roller Blinds for Bedrooms 2, 3 & 4 plus bathroom & toilet was installed last week. Roman Blind for the Bifold door was also installed on the same day. The Shutters for the reminder of the house will have to wait until end of this month/next month.

Fencing work was started on Monday, 10/11/11, they are taking their time in doing it. Back & Side Fences are up, but no gates yet.

Driveway is supposed to be done this week, however it has been delayed to next week due to the rain we've been getting. Which means another week of muddy shoes & house.

Still thinking of what to do with the landscaping. We'll have to do retaining walls for the side & back of the house & have to excavate about 50m3 of soil from the back of the house.
