Well not a whole lot has happened since my last post BUT a little bit has happened. After the whole boundary peg fiasco it turned out the builder was waiting on the local surveyor to get back from leave to re-establish all of our boundary pegs, because 3 out of 4 pegs isn't enough apparently. Now the builder took this upon themselves to get the surveyor out, because apparently that's why the plumber hadn't done his thing yet. The builder didn't tell us to organise it and they haven't mentioned anything about the cost, so hopefully we don't end up paying for it at the pointy end of the build. Anyhow, that happened last week (27th March), we have some newly re-established boundary pegs and a pretty pink streamer/flag on a stick in the ground. I actually drove around to the block yesterday to see if anything more had changed and the builder was actually onsite with someone else (plumber maybe?) doing some markings on the dirt and there was a bunch of star-pickets in the ground, but I couldn't work out what that was for. I only did a drive-by as I didn't want to interrupt them and decided I'd go back later in the afternoon to see what they had done. After going back in the afternoon it looks like they have marked out the wet areas so plumbing will happen any day now and then hopefully a slab will finally follow shortly after.
Here is what we saw yesterday:
Now, jumping back to the fencing guy, who I am still yet to received a quote from, I really really want to mask off the back of the property because I'm so tired of looking at that shabby old ugly yellow building but even the fencing guy is lagging behind the timeline he gave me for the quote...must just be the way they roll out here.
