big rig

A HUGE house is being built in the neighbourhood and rumour has it there is an indoor pool. It takes up most of the block which is substantial.

In order to pour the concrete pad, the builders have brought in this enormous bit of kit that pumps concrete from a large container fed by a never ending stream of concrete mixers. Pumped through pipes and hoses in this crane type buso, blokes with six packs on their six packs (it was hot and humid today so all very scantily clad) pour, smooth and then polish the pad once dry.

Will be interesting to see what the 'palazzo' looks like when built. A very cute, old cottage was bulldozed to build it and nary a tree remains, apart from the one out the front (which is council owned!)
