Cement driveway next door

from w
The units next door are up and running, all leased out. Bill's wooden cottage was demolished in March last year and it's taken some time to build these four houses next door. The cementing of the driveway next to our fence was done this week. Lucky branches from our date palm didn't fall on wet cement! Today has been a dreadful day of gusts of wind from every which way, humidity, heat, and lots of dust. Several parts of Victoria have had bushfires as well.

The pictures are a quick paint job I did today plus photos of Bill's house last March, then the demolition. He was a nice old man, a jockey, and one time when he was ill and I called in next door, all he wanted was the local paper to check out the racing guide and he always sang 'Isa Lei' when he met Peceli for some reason or other! After Bill died his grandson lived in the cottage and then decided to pull it down and build four units. Not much room for a garden though each unit has a lovely big green bin for recycling garden trimmings!
