'And yet all this comes down when the job's done'*

(* 'Scaffolding' by Seamus Heaney)

Having spent the best part of two days dismantling the scaffold that covered the south-west corner of my twelve storeys building (and my dining room) for the past three months, the scaffolding team was busy reconstructing it on the south-east corner.

Here is a section of the team moments before signing off for the day at 3.30pm.

As tomorrow is Good Friday and the first day of a four days long weekend for most Australians I suspect the scaffolders will not return to continue the reconstruction before Tuesday. In the meantime valuable visitor parking spaces will be unavailable during that period which may prove a problem for some residents. Our building/residents has had a long association with rural Australia and traditionally hosts many Easter visitors spending the holiday period in the 'big smoke' for the Royal Agricultural Society's annual Easter Show.

  1. Our building has no visitor parking, which sounds not so good. But invariably visitor parking is taken up residents who don't have a car space for their second or third vehicle.
