Sand (part 2)

Although not exciting for everyone else, here is a pic of our sand pile. I was rather excited by it, and D a bit surpised that I would want photos of it. Nevertheless, here it is...or rather was.

D drove past the block today to find the sand had all been levelled out. About 2:30pm he recieved a phone call from Henley requesting the side fence (which you can see in the above photo) to be taken down by the end of the weekend as it is full steam ahead next week.

Now that was a surprise, given the block was still a 'swimming pool' on Monday and we've had showers on and off all week, so there was no chance of it drying out.

As for the fence, well..., given we have intellectually disabled neighbours (lovely mind you), there will be no chance of us having that fence removed that quickly. I tried contacting their carers through the appropriate agencies, but they had gone home for the day, so nothing can be approved until at least Monday. The next step will be to actually take down the fence. Any ideas where to leave it? On our back fence line maybe? Will it get stolen (like the Hot Water System)? Of course this will be at our cost, and if the neighbour requests temporary fencing, that will be at our cost too. All these little things that you wish the builder would tell you when you first sign up so you are prepared.

At least we really are on the building journey now. We should continue to see action from here on in :-)
