Yesterday we had the electric hot water system removed (sold on gumtree! $$) and solar hot water installed. The concrete company was also there to do all the excavation, as well as formwork for the back and side paths. There probably were some other things, but my brain was mush by the end of the day.
The back and side paths were concreted today and they're looking really good! The formwork was set for the driveway and front path, ready for concreting tomorrow. I spent a bit of time breaking my back by getting the weeds out of the top tier of the retaining wall, so it's ready for some soil improvement and plants. The cabinet maker came out to measure up the space in the laundry, so hopefully that will crack on soon as well.
This is what i arrived to see - what was meant to be the concreter meeting to discuss things before they started later, and solar people not arriving for another 30 mins, instead I find it all in full swing!

We'll be able to wheel a bin or barrow through there nicely now

Looking good Taco !
Damn. If the gas was on the opposite side you'd have a massive of side access. You still have heaps though. Enough to roll the mower to the back yard!
