Buildlogue #4

Friday 13 June 2014: Day 31 – We’ve had another 5mm of rain, but today is pleasantly sunny and the grass is starting to dry out a bit.

Earlier, I took a call from John (In future I’ll refer to him as ‘Builder John’) advising that Wednesday 18 June will be set a Build Day 1, as he plans to start pegging out the building site that day, and Bobcat Bryce (In future I’ll refer to him as ‘Earthmover Bryce’, in case you confuse him with any of the other Bryces with whom I am acquainted) will start removing the topsoil, in preparation for placing the hardfill.

Buildlogue #1

Just as we have had a travelogue describing blow-by-blow details of a travelling holiday, we now have a Buildlogue (a term which I have just coined)

Buildlogue Day 1:  14 May 2014, a letter of confirmation has been sent today by our architect to the contractor John, advising him that his tender has been accepted, and that he should commence work after receipt of the Building Consent from the KCDC. No news from the Council yet.

Among the personalities we are likely to encounter on this project besides Barry and John, there are John’s staff, Bryce O’Sullivan who will be doing siteworks and preparation, Roofing Direct, Happy Plumbing, PCE or 2Connect Electrical, and Rylock Windows.
