Construction Commences, well almost!

So I may have rushed through the earlier stages to get to this point but, believe me, it has only been a rush in cyber world and has definitely felt like every bit of the 6 months it has taken to get to this point.

Firstly our retaining wall has been completed and we are extremely happy with the result. Anyone who needs a retaining wall on the Central Coast don't hesitate to contact Robert Cook landscapes!

So we received a phone call from our site supervisor on Friday 15^th July to advise us that construction was scheduled to commence with the site scrape on either the Monday or Tuesday of the following week. You can imagine our excitement at this news after the long period of seemingly endless e-mails, phone calls, meetings and late nights spent lying awake thinking about out decisions.

So....

Monday – A portaloo arrives on site!

Tuesday – Fencing arrives on site, a quick phone call to our friendly site supervisor reassures us that the excavator should be on site Wednesday to get underway.

Wednesday – The heavens open! Not only do they open but they continue for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and into Sunday in what becomes the wettest July since 1950 with over 200mm rain in that period.

Another week gone but at least we can hope that two severe rain events in one year is enough and we won’t have to put up with another. Fingers crossed!
