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.
