The thin string line






Thats what it came down to...




That little bit... about 6 cm ...bought work to a halt for a week. Once we trimmed the plans to suit we were up and running again!

We had the concrete guys here next to dig the footings and piers which all went well until it came to the plumbing. I noticed they marked a line on the ground and asked them what it was. He said it was the plumbing and when I told him that the plumbing was about a metre to the right he first... said "oh ok" second ... completely disregarded it and third ... dug our sewage pipes up!

Enter the plumbers. They fixed the pipes and OOPS fixed the footing good and proper!

Poor concrete guy nearly had a heart attack when he saw the mess they made of his footings. Once he got over the shock he emptied out the holes he dug for the piers and got them ready for the concrete which was poured later that afternoon.

Time has gotten away from me again so i'll do another update tomorrow.
