Rock bottom

 Day 5

We arrive on site today and find the concreter is there but has hit solid rock and has got the excavator in to break it up. He said that the excavator should be finished tomorrow. Monday he will get ready for the brickies to come in on the Tuesday to box it up. Wednesday they Rio it up (not sure if that is the right lingo) & Thursday he will get it ready for the pour on Friday. If the weather holds out this is the plan. Otherwise the slab wont be done till around the 9th January. The concreter doesn't really want to come back after xmas so he is going to be doing his best to get it all done by next Friday.

Steve the builder

Shaun or Shane the concreter (didn't quite catch his name)

They tell me if this was a normal block without the rock he would of had it all done in one day and ready to pour the next......
At least it will be ROCK SOLID. Which makes me wonder if the ground is rock solid why is there a need to be doing all this.

I didn't stay and chat to long as i didn't want to stop them working....
Back to it boys

I will head up tomorrow afternoon and hope it is all finished as it did look very time consuming. 

Lasagne is in the oven cooking for dinner tonight, boys are out the front with the neighborhood kids playing NERF wars and my 14 year old daughter is laying on the lounge after working 4 and a half hrs today. ha!

Oh, and hubby is studying wines on the computer as he has a great wine collection and is looking forward to the cellar and storing it all correctly instead of in boxes in a cupboard.

Time for a good red,
