Temp fencing goes up, althought letterbox is behind fence!
A job for Cup Day perhaps.......
After 6 years, 2 sites and 3 sets of final drawings for 'dream' homes, we have finally decided on the NBG Buckingham 320E with an altered floorplan which includes a Triple Garage and a walk in pantry, to name a few alterations! A lovely location but we have to knockdown original dwelling first!
HANDOVER SORTED - 1 year and 1 day!
Day 1 - Site Cut
Site Cut Success!
Site was cut on North side of site to approx 600mm, with a slight fill on South side. Site doesn't look 753m2 - looks smaller.
I will be constructing a retaining wall along the North side cut/fence line from 2400x75x200 treated pine sleepers using custom made 'H', 'C' and '90Deg' posts, manufactured by my father-in-law and custom powder coated in Monument too! It will be lined with geo-fabric and drained with agi-pipe & scoria. Agi-pipe will be eventually join up to 4 silt pits which will be connected to storm water.

Tree Lopping - April 2010
We are in a VPO4 Area in the City of Whitehorse and tree lopping is restricted. Fortunately the trees we wanted to lop were neither individually protected nor did they exceed the 100cm circumference @ 1mt height regulations for VPO4.
We used our preferred tree guy which we have used numerous times on different sites but there was one tree which was a danger to the powerlines so I had to arrange power asset owner, Jemena to lop this one down (see pic below) They were fantastic and came within a week to complete job.
