These past few weekends we’ve been chipping away concrete and putting down the electrical conduit which will carry the mains and low voltage (internet, phone etc.) cables into our house.
Our electrician, Tom Nash, told us what to do so we could save some pennies. I thought it would be a weekend job but it’s been more like three weekends, with at least half of that involving removing concrete from the underside of the footings which wasn’t a fun job, see first and second pictures.
We felt the price increase that Covid has caused on building materials with this little lot of pvc costing close on $300.
Next task before concrete pour is to remove the staircase and do one last repair to the footings.
Inflation of building materials is incredible but so many people have been having work done or doing work as they improve things they’ve noticed since spending a colossal amount of time within their homes/gardens and also they haven’t been spending on any luxuries.
Looking good though. 👍🏼
Cheers Chris, yes supply and demand haven’t helped! Always good to hear from you 🙂
