Earth Moving

Carlisle have allowed our landscaper to get started, which is great as it would normally have to wait until handover.

We got up there today just as they were packing up. A huge difference already with the whole front opened up - we can actually get to the front door! Finally I don't feel like we live in a ditch - thanks to the site cut. He has also graded the driveway, levelled the block more on each side, and built up dirt off the alfresco for where the decking will eventually be.So dust everywhere, but looking really good and the land is so much more usable already.

Some photos now...

Firstly, a before shot. You can the bank in front of the door and windows.

And from today, taken from close to boundary. The land up to the house is opened up heaps now. Driveway is straight down - from a new crossover. Note also the downpipes have been changed to what they should be - no longer a feature! Oh, and the garage door was put on this week too.

This photo shows the front of the house better. Very happy about how this is now. The retaining wall at the corner of the house is part of the build. We will add a retaining wall all the way across.

A view down the left hand side of the house. We will put pull up clothes lines on the outside of the garage. So the area near there has been flattened and will be concreted. He still has more to do on this side.

View of the right hand side of the house. This has been evened out a bit and more to happen. One day we will have lots of fruit trees on this side - well that is the plan at the moment.

That's it for the outside. Apparently the plumber was there today connecting something and our water tank is in the garage! It is being connected up on Monday.

  1. If you go under budget in one category, you have the flexibility to allocate that money to another benefit category. Best of all, you can do this all online through Capital Relocation Services' relocation calculator and budgeting tool, so multiple people in your department-or across your company-can access the data.
