That was a FAIL!

A large tipper with a Bobcat in the tray arrived this morning towing a trailer on which a small excavator was loaded.  Time to dig the hole for the pool.  Out came four timber pegs and the tape measure.

Houston we have a problem!

The pool was too big for the allocated area.  Someone has their measurements wrong.  No hole today.

Meanwhile our good friend Ken arrived to give a hand with the bathroom renovations.  Well not quite ” give a hand”.  Ken very kindly loaned me a second hammer for removing the wall plaster.  He has such a big heart.  He’s also full of advice…. which he subsequently recanted!!!  Aussies can be like that…..

Now I’m not really maligning Ken for lending me the hammer as it has proved to be particularly effective in removing the plaster.

It’s those tungsten carbide hardened teeth that are making the difference.

And progress at the end of Day 2

Jan is starting to despair at the volume of plaster being walked or blown through the house. 

Chip chip chip chip……
