The walls are going up and up
Walls around the "bunker" garage and playrrom are going up, being water-proofed, and strengthened to retain the back-fill that will eventually come...

Another Big Day, Another Big Digger
Its been a big first day on the excavation of the new garage at Pinaster Place
 |
| It began with a big digger and a lot of noise and progress |
 |
| ...and the sand began to pile up |
 |
| ...until we hit a bit of a water pipe |
 |
| Hugo took on a bit of site management (and wasn't sure about the location of the new swimming pool) |
 |
| The Water Corp guys worked into the night to fix the mains |
 |
| Thanks, gents. (oh, and about the severed Telstra phone cables...) |

The Soon-To-Be-Ex Front Wall
So this retaining wall is soon to be demolished, and replaced by a big old hole in the ground.
Electrical Thingies
The overhead electrical wire protector thingies are on today, so we should be able to start some heavy excavation action of the front slope (see next post). Hopefully not too much heavy rock or limestone outcrops!
