What an amazing day - would go as far to say that it was one of the most memorable days I can remember. Here is a summary of the day 7:00am - Ivan was to be on site with his equipment and generator to grind the slab 8:00am - get a txt from Ivan to advise he was bogged as the ground was very soft and muddy 8:30am - in the car off to Bunnings to get tow rope to save Ivan 9:00am - Arrive on site and generator (massive power generator on trailer) is bogged due to all the rain and MUDDY as! 9:30am - 2 attempts to get the generator on site and bogged both times. Ivan calles Coates Hire and requested a machine quote to crane the equipment onto the slab - Coats hire want...... $1000 to do it which is far from what I can afford! 10:00am - Ivan goes to Kennards and gets a heavy duty trailer to try and make it easier to get on site instead of the crane options - again the ground is soaking wet and muddy and very bag - cant even walk on it - that bad 10:30am - New trailer arrives and again.... gets bogged and have to tow that out as well 10:45am - Frustrated and have no idea what to do - head up to the Glenmore Ridge Park opening and run into Matt (client of mine that I did a home loan for 2 days ago!!!) - also building in Glenmore Ridge and explain the story. Matt says "I can get a crane here in 30 mins!!" - not what you know its who you know 11:00am - Me and Matt drive to Emu Plains to get a truck with a crane on the back - drive back to site and crane the machines onto the slab - watching in amazement! 11:30am - Ivan on site grinding, I am thanking Matt to no end and standing back in amazement on what had transpired during the day.. Matt thankyou so much....!!!!! 4:00 - get a message from Ivan that the generator has Sh*t itself and Coates are coming out at 7am to fix it... Like I said the day went from bad to worst to good and back to bad and Ivan took it all in his stride - Without Matt coming to the rescue nothing would have happened and wasted lots of $$$ with hiring equipment with no result. Have a look at the photos - Had to take some to back up this story..... Can you believe that I got a crane??? Check out the blog for photos!!
