Just keeping yous in the loop

/ MR

So I l peer over the balcony and see THAT !! – gallons and gallons (whatever gallons are in metric measurement) of .. some liquid being poured out from left to right into the top left corner of the tank on the left – from  behind the little tree – and also from the tank on the right. Right ?

So what the fuck is going on ? What IS the yellow liquid [shudder !] and where is it going ?!

It’s travelling along that thick hose that comes out of the l.h. tank on its bottom left, curling around the blue shed thingy and going .. BACK INTO THE PIT !!!

[gasp !]

        • I so detest it all, and their absolute carelessness of all we residents within ten feet, that I don’t give a rat’s arse, Sue. They worked all through the night.

          • But moving MR? There’s no guarantee that these sorts of things won’t happen wherever we live, and at least they say it will be finished early next year? That said, working through the night is not at all fun for those wanting to sleep. I completely understand. One of those links I sent is “your say” so can you have a say there?

              • What am I believing exactly? That they are doing sewer upgrades? Yes, I do trust that. I take everything with a grain of salt, but I’m also a believer in sins of omission rather than sins of commission. The latter happens of course but less often than people think!

      • For most people, that’s probably enough? For me, it would be! I’d think, they’re tunnelling for pipes. Okay, makes sense to me. I’d have no interest in investigating the details unless noise or smell became an issue. Ah, I’ve just thought that maybe the water is about dust minimisation? I think construction does that sometimes ie they spray water on digging to keep the dust down?

        • Definitely not. No. This-morning after working all night with huge lighting there were men in the left-hand tank with spades, digging up silt and stashing it in the front of that same tank. There is no water spraying – just sucking up from the pit and filtering, I suppose, and then putting it back in !

  5. OK I know I’m going on but that YOUR SAY link has this (they EXPECT night works to be finished by Thursday!):

    “Night works Elizabeth Street near Lonsdale Street: November 2023
    Construction at the Elizabeth Street work site near Lonsdale Street is expected to be complete by late November 2023.

    From Thursday 16 November 2023, road reinstatement work will take place in the existing site compound. This work will take place at night for four nights and will include excavation, road sawing and asphalting works.

    Once this work is complete, this work site will be returned to its original condition. All fencing, barriers and traffic management signage will be removed.

    What to expect during this work
    Work will take place between 12.30am and 4.30am Monday to Thursday and is expected to be complete by Thursday 23 November 2023.
    Road sawing works will take place during the day. However, some road sawing may happen during the night, if required.
    There will be periods of moderate noise from use of road saws and excavators.”

    You’ll be pleased to hear I am going out soon so will not bother you again!!!

  7. Oh M-R! I would lose my mind, I fear. It may be a necessary upgrade to the infrastructure, but it’s completely distressing to the people trying to live in the vicinity. I am so sorry you’re forced to wait this out. I am noise sensitive, and I presume you are, too. Some people are capable of eventually tuning out distressing noise, but as hard as I try, I cannot. You have my sympathies!

  8. I have nothing to add, except this song came to mind instantly when I read your post and these comments. I hope it’s all over before it drives you (completely! 😉 ) loco. x

  9. I don’t know what that gunk is, but yuck! If it’s clay, it’s a weird color. Where I come from, clay is red, like the sandstone you see in pictures of New Mexico, etc. (yeah, I’m late on these last 4 or 5 posts of yours. Didn’t see any email, if there was any. Maybe lost in my spam box again.)

    • Or another irritating thing that happens is that one’s following of someone’s blog just gets cancelled, so one has no idea of that person’s posting. One must then re-follow. That’s happened to me at least three times over the years.
