@neph93 Basement of the new place?
No sir. The basement is actually coming along nicely.
This is me starting to correct some seriously poor workmanship. Long story short, some twat decided that instead of taking up the floor of the first floor extension, he’d level it with 2cm of concrete. He fekked it. Professional said it was so bad it could not be sanded to a level, so I’m having to use a jackhammer and a huge breaking iron to take the whole thing up.
Needless to say the jackass is fired, unpaid, and may need to watch his back one dark night when he thinks I’ve forgotten about him.
I’m kidding of course…. He’s buried in the foundations already.

Words escape me and I would be seriously pissed…
Did they do that during the time when you weren't able to visit daily?
It happened when they were already well behind schedule and I was hassling them to get the floor finished. He figured his way was quicker and just went ahead. If it had been done well it would have been a dumb but acceptable solution. But….

…That’s koko crater in the distance [emoji291] it has a fun railway trail if you like self torture.
I hiked up Koko Head… absolutely gorgeous views from the top… not recommended if you have a fear of heights… as I recall, there’s a section where we were walking on the old rail ties over a small ravine [emoji51]

??? WTF
This is just one example of the kind of incompetent fuckery I’ve had to deal with. I can’t bring myself to share more just yet [emoji1]

BlundstoneThis is my first time using hydraulic concrete saws and it was amazing! I had no idea they existed as they are absolutely the beat I’ve ever used. They look like they’re straight out of Star Wars or something..:

They are super cool. A guy just took four hours to cut a 400kg block out of our basement wall. The walls are 43cm thick.
Seriously! Have you ever used one yourself? They are way more powerful and much lighter than saws with an onboard gas motor!

I’ve used one for dressing concrete blocks for a wall which is pretty straightforward. Taking finished concrete out with one is something else I think. Next time I’m down the house I’ll take some pics of the walls and the block that came out. Insane stuff.

I’ve come to discover that I need to be very careful when using the bathroom in these. It was a very close call with the unclipped strap almost taking a dip

@RoxRocks86 outstanding. Crushing as always.

Beatiful story telling @RoxRocks86 and a handsome picture!

Looking epic @RoxRocks86
And a good warning to bibbers everywhere, I've almost done that myself ???

I learned that from wearing my work coveralls. And also give yourself more time(so you can get out of if you have to) lol!

@Brock Are those pants like a patchwork? Wow! Second time I've seen someone mention Grease Point. Second time I've been impressed.

Moving in with The Wonderful Lorie Love. This is just the beginning of a weeks long endeavor. Mostly being done after my regular day job.
Cleaning the attic and pushing these storage bins up there was a back breaker. And the heat in that attic will take your breath away. Most of these bins are my IH vaults and there's couple PC's I built that need rebuilt again. I hope to have space for a winter time workshop up here to rebuild my PC's and other projects.

Reminder to self: Get a hard hat. How many times do you think I smacked my head on the rafters?
Much needs to be stored up here and it all needs to come up through this little entrance unless our new entrance project gets off the ground of installing an actual fold down stairs:
