The shed prior to dismantling on Saturday November 11th.
The infamous cat (in the foreground) needs to know what I am doing.
The guy who bought shed is now dismantling it. The door and gutters are removed...
By the end of the Saturday November 11th the shed had been dismantled...
and by the end of Sunday the 12th the shed had been removed.
The Subaru Impreza is Elizabeth's new car.
The Impreza and my everyday driver Hyundai Tucson sit on the concrete pad. It is a little odd to see 2 cars on the vacant spot.
The Impreza is a very nice drive. The road handling is excellent. Turbo would be nice though...
Wednesday 15th. The heavens have opened up and snow begins to fall above 500M. Hail and big rain don't slow the machinery down though...
There once was a neat front lawn here.
The front pathway is partially removed.
Front pathway steps will be replaced.
Oops. Whilst digging the footings for the concrete slab, we found the storm water pipeline. Smashed up by the excavator. Call the plumber for a Saturday morning pipeline diversion. The plumber said that "the invoice will be mailed to me". I can't wait. Anyway the pipe job is done now and we can continue with the concrete slab construction.
Wednesday 22nd November. Overcast morning, 14C. Perfect for a concrete pour.
Check out the end of the pipe held aloft by the guy in the blue windcheater. Liquid revenge!
Petrol engine powered inverted helicopter machine polishes and levels the garage floor slab.
Throwing colour onto the wet concrete.
Crazy Tony takes a break from his 'Stippling' and trowelling job to pose for the photo. Too much hard work.
The slab is ready for the garage construction. Note the two grooves down each side for the garage wall cladding to drop into.
December 7th. The garage parts are delivered ready for construction.
The side walls are assembled to frames and are then lifted up and bolted to the slab.
The wall cladding will locate into the grooves filled with caulking goo to water seal the walls.
Monday December 11th and the job is almost finished.
