driveway prep - steel and more steel

Today's effort was fairly monumental.  It's looking like artwork - the steel and plywood and plastic holders are the canvas.  When you look at the complex matrix inside of concrete formwork structures, you can't help but see construction artists at work here.

It's something of beauty.

A pity it will be covered with the solidifying element that is concrete. It's quite technical as well,  structural weight,  drainage placement,  level calculation, edge lines and overall shape all have to be taken into account while making up the huge concrete mold and it's structural mass.








Happy Birthday Will!

Footing steel installed and a much needed arrival

Toe footing steel RW2 section was installed, excess dirt and rocks were taken away and the toilet arrived on site (very good news)

Where it all started...

We saw this add in front of a realestate agent and decided to make an offer.  After some negotiation, we finally secured the property for AUD$182K.
