Thursday 12 September, day 11 of the build, there were two excavators on site … one that began ripping out concrete in the northern corner to the side of Carinya.
Just visible behind the tree, filling up one of the trucks with chunks and slabs.
The second excavator squated desolate in the upper section apparently suffering a break-down.
The operators here seen washing the great steel animal down, as if thinking they might as well use the down-time for something useful.
A little later they had a repairs truck on site, the doctor coming to see the patient. There can’t have been any resolution because it sat there all through Friday ( day 12) and was left behind when the working machine was carried away at the end of the day by low loader.
Saturday morning it was also taken away.
Leaving just a spare scoop sitting by the side of the access road. And that was that for the week.
