Site cleanup - moved the 50+ m3 of dirt removed from pier holes to a location easily loaded to be taken away - another machine but since I was driving it there were no photos.. Yet another machine and truck to remove the dirt..And almost as soon as the last truck left the plumber arrived on site, measured up and began making more dirt!
Greywater
We thought it would be a good idea to add a grey water diverter system to the build so that we could reuse the water on the garden. Perhaps its the shiny new desal plant that Victoria installed a couple of years ago, or the lack of clarity from local councils about regulations and requirements but nobody seems to buy these systems any more. The system we were looking for would divert water immediately to the garden and not store any water for more than 24hours (regulation!). Also, it was important that any filters would be easy to clean, and hopefully not needing cleaning on a regular basis. The Greyflow PS (http://www.greyflow.net.au/index.php/product-selection-guide/grey-flow-ps) was chosen. It had the advantage of being staged installed - i.e. the basic system could be installed with the plumbing and the pump and control system could be added later, once the house is complete. It also, has the option of adding an automatic cleaning system that means filters only need to be cleaned annually.
Piers
Of the 155 piers we got 4 wrong...
We just realised that the 4 of the piers we bored and filled with concrete were in the wrong place. Of course these were under one of the two construction joints!! However, luckily they were some of the piers that we also bored to 600mm rather than 450mm so they are still under the joint..
