The plan was to be able to then bury these giant lumps of concrete that have been sitting in a pile in the backyard since we raised the house and replaced the concrete house stumps with longer steel posts.
We decided to bite the bullet and fork out the cash to hire another earthmoving machine so that we could bury them in the driveway, once the Bobcat was out of action.
Once they were all lined up like little sardines in the hole, Tom covered them over with some dirt from the backyard, but we still had a definite ditch in our driveway.
And then it rained. And rained and rained and rained.
So then we had this.
Yes, the ute was trapped in the backyard during all of the rain, so Tom made an attempt to get it out, thinking that all of those lovely buried concrete blocks should give him some traction.
They didn't.
We had to make an excursion (in a different car) to Bunnings to buy a heavy duty four-wheel-drive rescue strap so that we could drag it out!
We're hoping we'll be able to find someone who has some dirt to give away soon, but the rain is delaying those plans a bit at the moment.
And considering that some people in Brisbane are now reliving a bit of last year's flood nightmare, we certainly can't complain about our little puddle!
