Yesterday a couple of guys with theodolites and little white posts came around and measured out the property boundaries. Not much to panic about there.
Today a man in a white ute turned up to measure out the location of the footings for the new construction, but had to leave again because it was raining and his equipment, so he said, was likely to short circuit. He seemed disappointed not to be working, but exactly how sad could someone be about being stopped from doing outside work on a day where it was still minus 5 degrees Celsius at 9 am and the forecast was for a maximum of seven degrees and possible snow.
