Day 1 - Ready to build

House has now been demolished, http://cgbuild.blogspot.com.au/p/demolition-starts.html, and the block has been split leveled, 
we even have a fence up.
 
This is a good time perhaps to point out that no care whatsoever is going to be applied to your "crossover", that is the footpath and driveway.  Make sure you know how much this will cost to repair as I am fairly certain that the standard contract will not cover the actual repair cost that the council will require you to pay.  I am a little annoyed that while the demolishers made some attempt to protect the footpath with old tyres and timber, the CG appointed levellers just carved up the driveway and footpath. 
Interesting enough, Melbourne broke its record run of hot days (above 30C) on the first day of build with a downpour.  We need the rain, I just didn't! - not just now - but what do you do? - great potters clay, but no builders on site.
 
Hopefully something more happening soon
