building new house

[australian pete]

I like the dogmen's safety boots and hardhat too Pete

hard hats and safety boots are not required on my site,

 

[australian pete]

at least they were careful to make sure their faces were hidden...

interesting. do you have something against dirt pete? me suspects you'll end up with the same problem just it'll take longer to happen.

i dont mind dirt mouse in it's place. rats, mice, spiders, etc prefer dirt to concrete, the main attraction of the concrete however is it is easy to hose down and keep clean, dirt gets real messy when you hose it.

And that is a great reason to be able to power wash under your new house.

Ohhhh!!, Pete, what did you say when that happened? If you can do that much damage with a bakhoe, it could be a bit of a worry when you are let loose on the Rayco, at least with the new paint scheme, they will see you coming.:eek2

Rn'R.

 

[australian pete]

just before i hit it i thought i should get the electrician to watch me while i dig under the meter box, but i thought , naah , i be ok. after the touch i gave myself a stern talking to and told myself what an idiot i am.

Hi Guys

Great work Pete. Is that residential zoning where you building? you probably had fun with council to cut down the trees and to get Bush fire certificate.

the zoning is rural, had to get a consultant to do a bush fire report, fairly straigh forward. council ? trees ? do you need permission to cut down trees ? what trees ??

 

[Veseli]

I can see trees at the background and site looks like its been cleared, so i thought you've cut down some trees. In Wollongong they are very strict when it comes to cutting the trees.
Didn't you need the council approval to build the house on the rural land??

i guess mulching is like everything these days, it's all pretty slow.

 

[Veseli]

Ok thanks pete, im scared to spend $40,000 for something that's pretty slow.

probably better to wait a few months and see how the economy goes.
