Day one of block clearance.... should be easy right - just alot of beach sand to push around ... WRONG!
We found these little lovelies about an hour in......
What could they be I hear you ask.... leach drains that run the length of the property. These are from the 40's and are so strong I'm sure you could use them as bomb shelters if we ever had to deal with world war three.... the big issue is they actually go right up to the retaining wall and no one is comfortable digging that close.... so I'm not 100% sure whats going to happen, we have a supervisor figuring out the best way to deal with them but its not a great start.Also - they found and destroyed a sewer pipe connected to our front neighbours property. Wonderful right, lucky for us it was an old unused one but we also found the used one and have discovered we need to move it so it doesn't affect the new retaining wall... So day one over and we have major additional earth works costs and over $1,000 in plumbing. YAY for building....
