Post 36: Dewatering Mobilises: Spears, Monitoring and Keeping the Water Out
The dewatering crew is on site. How spear points pull the groundwater down, how we're monitoring the wall and sheet piles for movement, and how the basement will be kept watertight.
Home Maintenance Calendar: A Month-by-Month Plan for Your New Home
A perpetual home maintenance calendar for new Australian homes. Every month has its checks, climate notes for the north and south, and a QR code to a detailed guide with sketches and the standards behind each check.
Post 35: Fence Complete, Cutting Back Sheet Piles and Rebuilding Next Door's Path
The tilt-up fence is finished. We're cutting the sheet piles down with oxy-acetylene, preparing the jetty for a stone carpet finish, and rebuilding the neighbour's tiled path layer by layer.
Post 34: Last Fence Panel, Backfilling and a Crack That Wasn't Ours
The footing is extended, the tilt panels are up and the garden is backfilled. Why we held back the last panel, how the panels lock together, and what a missing isolation joint does to a wall.
