1-4-08 Retaining Wall and Pipes

Visited the block on Tuesday and they had completed the retaining wall and laid all the plumbing. So much for our nice flattened and sculptured block - it is now been dug up and driven all over!


Our Meter box has been installed too.


This is looking from the rear of the block - looks like giant grey worms coming out of the ground.


They have also installed all the Silt Pits for drainage due to the shape of the block and slope of the land. These will need to be lifted to the ground level once we add the pathways as part of the landscaping.


Also spoke to our CSC yesterday as I realised that our external tap was located near the laundry door on the side of the house -not a great location I thought (apparently South East Water determine the position of our front external tap). I would have preferred it to be closer to the rear of the house. She has agreed to raise a building variation to shift the location which is good news.

Well it seems they are on track to pour the slab on Friday - stay tuned.

Hi Tim,
Bring on Friday! I guess there will be two sets of little feet running around it soon. Great that there has been some work going on. Retainer wall looks good. I guess once the slab is down then it'll be go, go, go. I can't believe how M&M's house looks at the moment.

Happy Belated Birthday too!!! Hope you had a great day.

You guys are going to overtake us, I think - our slab was meant to be poured last Friday, and at the rate they're (not) going, they won't be doing it this Friday, either. I'm sure yours will start taking shape really quickly from now!

Isn't it just soo much fun!
It'll pop out of the ground very shortly and all of a sudden you'll be moving furniture in. Promise to help!

Happy Birthday Timbo
