Week 2 & 3: Clouds and Rain

It's been raining non-stop for the past 10 days and so far no signs of sunny day till next Monday.

As duly noted, apart from the appearance of two steel containers, no progress has been made so far. 10 days of rain and 3 more to go. Who's the murderer here? The weather of course, cause it's killing my patience. 

Week 1: Earthworks

The weather has been looking very gloomy and wet for Perth the last two weeks. It was finally nice to wake up to a warm and sunny Saturday morning. In order not to waste such a beautiful weekend, as always, I took my bike out to cycle with my brother. Our usual cycle path was from our current rented property to the new land. Due to the wet season, I wasn't expecting much to happen as the construction process are usually delayed.  But to my surprise, the builders has already started with the earthworks and it was awesome to see some changes to my once awful looking land. Still looks quite terrible with the pile of sand at the front but at least the vegetation has been cleared and the land has been leveled thus far. Glad I chucked my camera into my bike pouch, guess I had a gut feeling that the nice weather was a good omen. 

Unfortunately the weather forecast for next week is not looking great, probably a few showers. The next step will be a critical one as they have to lay the concrete slab and footing as the foundation of the house. To have a sturdy mixture of concrete, the right amount of water is essential. Extra rainwater to the mixture will be a horrible idea. Don't think the builders will want to get the foundation of the house wrong. Shall be patient then! 

Situated behind some warehouses. 

Nicely leveled. 

Such terrible looking bricks. Will paint the brick wall with white or cream colours!
