Concrete, Concrete and more Concrete...

Well, I went up to the block as I do most days today and yesterday, funnily enough, and had some guesstimates done for the concreting we will require before we move in to the house.

One of the guys doesn't think we will even be in by bloody Christmas !!!!!!! What the???? Bullshit we won't.... We had better be, anyway...... He was around the $11,500 mark

The other guy we had come by today and he came in at $12,500, including GST, bob cat work and guttering/drainage pits. Not bad I thought.... He said call me in a couple of months.....

On another note, it would appear perhaps I was a little too joyful the other week, when the ducted vacuum guy was working in the Sunday and said, "Nothing will surprise me now", perhaps a little too kind.....

Other than wrapping on the 24th last week, that is all it would appear we have achieved since the vacuum guys was there. We have had some good weather 24th, 25th, the weekend was pretty crappy but today 28th and tomorrow are suppose to be good. The rest of this week is going to be crappy rain...... Once we get the bloody roof on, then do it.... but not before......

So wouldn't you think that we could get some chippies in to prep the rest of the roof ready for some tiling?????? That was supposed to be there a week ago......

NO!!!!!

Well not so far anyway.... And I know they are not at Mel's place because Mel, at this stage is approx a couple of days behind us.

I know that our two house are not their only ones, but they are the only ones we care about.....

I will see if we get anything happening tomorrow..... doubt it

OOOohhhhhh, before I forget, I noticed some suspect people loitering around the block this morning about 11.00am, from M-bark excavating and someone looking officialish (technical word) inspecting our water taps... I asked what was happening, was basically told to mind my own business (paraphrasing), I replied it was my business. This is my house and my builders dunny one of your boys just used. So what the F*%# is going on?????

He wouldn't tell me, because he has been miss quoted in the past, (give a shit) anyway to cut a long story short. I noticed that the taps at the front look like they have been plumbed wrongly with a "T" joiner connecting the recycled water to the normal tap..... I presume only a temp measure.... But I will have to ask no doubt....

Our new taps as at 05/05/08

Our tampered taps as at 28/07/08

Something a little bit fishy looking at the pictures......
