Construction site

First came the new car then came the new driveway. It probably should have been the other way around.

Actually there was already a concrete driveway. The only issue was the gradient at the road entry meant any low lying cars scrapped their undercarriage upon entry and exit. Even with superior negotiating skills and despite the fact it didn’t affect the TeamSAK 4 wheel drive and we would pay our share, it had taken years to arrange agreement of all owners to rectify the building fault.

It has been a drama filled project. While the professionals were saw cutting the concrete in preparation for the bobcat a water pipe was cut. Turns out the pipe had not been laid low enough by the builder over 10 years ago! Today S put the project management skills into action and waited on a cast of thousands including plumbers, concreters, bob cat and cement mixer operators. The end product is a new and improved entry to the driveway which should not result in damage to the new baby.

Think we will get the neighbours to test their cars first!

Looks like Bracksy should hire you to manage the new desalination plant and the Dandenongs pipeline
