Well another week has gone by and there's been quite a bit of progress next door...
Last week the plumbers were hard at work in some wet, muddy conditions...but finally all those pipes had been laid...
On Monday morning, a truck arrived with pallets of blocks...
The digger operator was still moving piles of soil around...I took some photos from the front veranda...he was to work on that throughout the day...
Meanwhile, those pallets were unloaded...
That night about 6pm, another truckload of bricks arrived and were unloaded in the dark...the little forklift has a headlight with a very strong beam!
Next morning, there were pallets of blocks all over the site...
In the photo below, you can see the walls taking shape...
Another view...
Another night time delivery...more pallets!! lol
The view from my sewing room...
A delivery of rocks...
From our 'office', we can see the wall growing higher...
The last 2 photos were taken on the front footpath...

It won't be long now before my lovely view will be gone...

I was just thinking about the outlook as it is now - over the building site - enjoy it while you can I guess..
ReplyDeleteHa Ha Maria .. I wonder if they consider you their 'security camera' ?? They're making good progress. xox
ReplyDeleteThey are really going to go up fast aren't they!
ReplyDeleteDear Maria. I like reading your updates on the building works, thanks for keeping us informed. They are busy as bees.
ReplyDeleteAfter the torrential rain we had yesterday i reckon it would be like the battle of the Somme there today.
It is amazing how quickly the walls go up, and a building takes shape.
ReplyDeleteDo you know what the pink tree down at the corner is?
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame to have the buildings instead of your view. I hope at least your neighbours will be quiet ones.
Really coming along, I hope they're not too noisy xx
