Oh Danny Booooyyyy!

The Pipes, the pipes are calling!

Well, it certainly was a hive of activity at the block today. Drove past in my usual creepy, 'nothing to see here' manner this morning and saw diggers and pipes galore!




THERE'S A PIPER DOOOOONN!



They were going to keep at it and try and get it finished before the weather broke, but these chaps are made of stern stuff and they ploughed on through the rain and the storm water is done!



Tomorrow they'll be back for the sewage... to connect that is, not to go searching for some sewage obviously.

Absolute POWER!

They say Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely!

I'm not entirely sure that's true but we're going to find out because we NOW HAVE POWER!!!

The end of week one signed off with a lovely Porter Davis sign on our fence plus all the OH&S info you could ever need. Also... a tap!



Week 2 started with a damn good trenching! It's become habit very quickly to leave for work, scoot by the block to see what's happening. Then, if there is any action, a quick call to the missus so she can then drive past herself to see if what I said was true!

At the end of the day we have a lovely brand new Power Box and a lovely pole and also a fair mound of gravel (not pictured, gonna have to take our word for it!).



Can't wait until the morning when I can do my slow, creepy drive by...

Then call the wife!

Approved and Away!

... And we're back! It seems an eternity since our last post but we've been playing the waiting game with permits and start dates. After feeling like we'd dreamed signing to build a house, we finally received our email from PD saying "Congrats y'all, your building now has a permit!".

Amazing says we, they must be starting tomorrow at 5am! But alas no.

We then played the waiting game to hear on start dates.

One week...

Two weeks...

TOILET!



Nothing says impending trades more than a portaloo!

So on Monday April 18, the block was scraped which officially marks DAY ONE!

So our site is scraped, and excitement is all the way back up to full! The next day a plumbing van arrived marking out so we are back to driving past daily to see who spots the most difference.

Only 286 days to go!!
