There were a few sagas in getting out of the old abode and disposing of it but I dont want to bore you so will start at Stellar Home's involvement once the block was cleared and pegged.
The first of Stellar's crew embarked upon the task of levelling the block. This was executed quickly with the removal of about 70 tonnes of dirt and round creek boulders. The only gotcha was that about a dozen years ago a massive gum tree was removed by others from the centre of the back yard and unfortunately the several tonnes of stump had been hiding under the back lawn all these years. Started earthworks on 18 April finished the next day. Cost was $25 a tonne + a couple of hundred to extract and remove the redgum stump.
I received a brief call on Friday from Stellar Homes informing me that work would be starting on the foundations on Saturday 20th April. I headed over on Sunday which was a bit showery as was Saturday but they had completed 2/3 of the footings. By the Anzac Day Wednesday the trenches for footings were in.
I called the contractors that would be responsible for the slab and they said despite the inclement weather they were on target for a Saturday pour assuming the weather stayed away. I zipped over Thursday night with my torch and the reo was sitting on the verge and my PVC plumbing was already in place so all is looking good so far.
