Construction Begins

After receiving a call from Vince, the concrete guy inviting us to watch the piering, my boys and I went to the site, camera in hand.  Very exciting.

Key Dates

7th May 2010

Good news!  WISDOM removed their fill!







23rd April 2010

WISDOM are supposedly going to remove the fill, which has diminished in size after relocation.  It has been cordoned off at the top corner near Stream St. We'll see.








9th April 2010

Peter, our Site Supervisor sends Jandson Homes pictures showing 2 x dirt pile fills that need to be cleared before they go-ahead. Apparently, according to a home forum and Jandson, this is a problem especially with new estates. Our best guess is that WISDOM and METRICON building on either side of us have dumped their dirt on our land. HOW RUDE!

I contacted both of their offices requesting that they remove this. The cost from Jandson to us if they removed it on our behalf ranges up to $2,000!

After asking Jandson if they could merely push it to the side. Jandson reply that Chris, the Construction Manager has advised the excavators out on-site to push the spoil to one side so it is out of their way for the time being.
