Piering Completed

15/4/2014

Got a tip off the next door neighbour this morning that there was some action happening on our block. Went to check it out and found that formwork had started. I spoke to one of the workers and he said piering was to be done today. With the weather starting to take a turn for the worse, I was off fishing with the family in a boat we had hired for the morning. I wanted to hang around and watch proceedings but spending time with my family took precedence. Returning from the family outing I found that piering had been completed and more formwork laid up. I also miss a call from our SS so returned the call to find to my complete shock that piering had gone over by a staggering 40 lineal metres. He said the engineer had trouble finding suitable ground and one hole was over 2 metres in depth. This is the part I can't work out, the next door neighbour only had 27 lineal metres and I 89.5. Either i've been taken for a ride or the neighbour has come up short. I wish I was there to speak to the engineer now. Anyway 100 or so pods were delivered and if the weather behaves, our slab will be down on Thursday but guess what, as I write this its raining again. In the last 2 months we have had over 400mm of rain which has broke a 43 year old record for this period for this area.
