So the frame is due to be delivered to my block today, however we have experienced some terrible bush fires down in the southern highlands, including bush along Picton Road which is the only road to access my estate. I have been on the RFS website and Picton Road has been closed for most of the day. It appeared that the road closure was just after the turn off into Bingara, so Felicity, dad and I drove the back roads to avoid a traffic jam on the Hume Highway.
It was a very scary feeling driving out along Morton Park Drive. There were huge smoke clouds only a few kilometers in front of us. The sky was glowing orange and it appeared we were heading right towards the fire. It was now, it really hit me, that these fires were so close to our estate. We made it out onto Picton Road, and to our block. I was estatic! Our frame had been delivered!! There is was, beautiful pieces of blue steel, waiting to be put up! We also inspected the slab and saw the kordon termite barrier had also been put around the edges of the slab. Also, to our surprise, our site had been leveled around our slab. I didn't expect MJH to do that! Our huge pile of dirt out the front had been evenly spread around the back yard, which now battered down nicely to the slab! Whilst looking at the slab we also noticed that one of the corners on our slab in the alfresco had been broken off. It must have happened when they leveled the dirt around the block. We will have to get that fixed! All in all, we were so pleased everything was still on schedule!
