Concrete Update

Gary the concretor popped in this morning to check out the job.  He will fix it as required.  He believes it is all to do with the concrete still curing.  It takes around 4 weeks for the concrete to reach something like 100% strength.  He believes in a month or so everything will look fine.

He has asked I contact him again in another couple of weeks so he can come back out and have another look.  Any extra payment would be measured in schooners of home brew!

When he did his own driveway some time ago his kids were roller blading on it the next day.  They had left serious marks on it.  A month later you couldn't see anything! He believes our job will be no different.

We therefore will have plenty to do this week, putting the border stones back and setting up pot plants.

It is 30 degrees outside now at 11 am on Sunday.  The pool was a little over 21 degrees this morning so I was in for a swim following my bike ride.  21 degrees isn't very warm!

Last night we watched a couple of episodes of Waking The Dead and finished up with a movie length episode of "Jonathon Creek".  It was a top night's viewing.

I have Bathurst on TV right now (like watching paint dry in my opinion).  Later this afternoon we have a One Day cricket match on Pay TV, Qld vs Victoria.  Might even get a swim or two in as well if the water in the pool heats up some more.
