A Place for the Brown Stuff

Problem #2 (Not too bad so far), How to fit the septic system tank into a hole that contains more Rock then an episode of The Flintstones. So in comes the big guns, a 12 tonne rock breaker spent 6 hours breaking the rock and digging an enormous hole to fit the tank. The final product isn't too bad, except the huge pile of rock left over. Good thing the neighbor wants it to do some retaining with.

Driveway and Paths Finished

The Toowoomba weather has turned perfect again today, so the boys were back at it again finishing off the concreting for us. They have done an A1 job. A charcoal grey with a cobblestone edge.

Now the Concreters turn.

As they did with our slab, The boys from Mick Suttons Concreting have done an absolutely excellent job on the driveways and paths. The front is finished and the side and rear will be poured next week.

A Grinding Halt

Well with 10 weeks of perfect weather it had to happen. It hasn't rained any more than 200mm in Toowoomba for months, and in three days we had 320mm. This has put us a few days behind, but we are still looking around the 7 - 10 July a s our move in date.

Getting Ready to Paint

The painters have been in to mask up all of the cupboards, floors and windows to get ready to spray the undercoat. They have been fighting with the plasterers to get the cornice finished in time, and thier persistence paid off. We are a flat mid beige on the walls, with a 1/4 sahde on the ceilings instead of the old Ceiling white.
