THE TREE

I guess anything is worth a try !!
And it got a damn good dose of 'bug spray' before being covered
Who Knows ?? ... Might Work, eh !!
Brett
Hope it helps !!
Tuesday 14th September 2021
Have just finished cleaning all the bat / bird shit off the walls and fences around Unit Four
Looks Brand New Now !!
As you can see in the attached photo, the sprinkler is going in the "bad area" of the Unit Four front lawn
Brett
Thank You

THE LAWNS
Firstly, HERE is a Fifty Seven Seconds Video taken on the 10th September
Rachel has just left ... she worked by herself
Husband has had a Very Bad and Serious Reaction to the Second Dose of Vaccine and is in hospital
Brett --- the place looks Fabulous !!
And there are Seven "BEFORE" Photos Below
Whipper Snipping and Mowing with a Catcher
The Street ... The Carport Area ... Our Unit
All the leaves and shit and rubbish have gone !!
(( but I guess the wind will bring it all back soon !! ))
I know that you will probably say ... "Shut The Fuck Up, Dad"
But if you need help with this bill, please sing out
Brett
I don't need help ... it's all okay
The lawns needed a tidy up
And I know about her husband
She told me Monday ... not too good at all !!
Friday 17th September 2021 at 9.15am
Fourty Seconds Video HERE
I am sitting on the patio watching the Water !!
Tuesday 21st September 2021
UNIT FOUR LAWN
The five shots below were taken yesterday afternoon
The first one is "Very Dramatic" !! !!
This area gets zillions of litres of water
Why has the lawn / drain gone like this ??
As you can see, I got the sprinkler going
Plus I am going to handwater along the drain and fence later today
I reckon it will bounce back ... just hoping it's quick !!
PS - the "Eaten Tree" is fighting back ... still looks good !!
Brett
Who knows why !!
I have no clue why it would die there
But don't worry to much
If it does die, hopefully only the drain will but the rest to stay alive
Geoff
And another PS = it is blowing like a cyclone out here !!
Brett
I see that !!
Wednesday 22nd September 2021
SHARON and BRETT --- (( Brett at GMail ))
I have just sent each of you an email with Ten Photos of the Poor Old Lawn !!
SHARON and BRETT
Attached are Ten Photos of the Poor Old Lawn !!
Sharon ... remember to ring Brett before contacting the Lawn People
Brett ... this is just to check what she should and shouldn't say, etc
GOOD LUCK, DARLING !!
Brett
Mum ... I’ll let you forward this on
From: Brett Roneberg ... brett.roneberg@gmail.com
Subject: Re: Photos Of The Poor Lawn !!
Date: Wed September 22 2021 6:58 pm
To: geoff@ronebergcairns.com
I have faith in Mum
If you don't get a response I'll email Michelle
Don't give them your address
Just say we recently finished building in Trinity Beach in June
And this is how our Turf looks now
Has had a heap of water, etc, etc
Geoff
Received your email about the Turf
Sharon will be sending her note and the photos off tomorrow
(( it is her "RDO" ))

TO -- TROPICAL LAWNS
SUBJECT LINE -- Recent Laying Of Turf
Good Morning To You
Attached are Ten Photos of Our Lawn
TURF = "Zoysia Matrella" --- "Shade Tuff"
This turf was laid during late June, and we live in Trinity Beach, Cairns
Parts are beautiful and lush and green
But we are very concerned, and very disappointed, at how some areas of the grass are looking
We were advised to "keep lots of water going" and this was done and is ongoing
However, patches all over appear to be dead or dying as you can see in these photos
Can you please give us some advice on what to do to get this lawn back and growing like it should ??
Thank You So Very Much
Geoff and Sharon Roneberg
Note to Brett
Your copy of the email to Tropical Lawns is a "blind copy"
Sharon and I have been talking all morning about what to write
Just hope we get an answer !! !!
Rang Tropical Lawns on Friday 24th September 2021
Above email had not been received
Advised to resend to the details below:-
Subject: Query on Turf ... ... Attention = Mandy
From: sharon@ronebergcairns.com
Date: Fri, September 24, 2021 9:51 am
To: "Tropical Lawns" --- accounts@tropicalawns.com.au
Friday 24th September 2021
Mandy advised that the emails had come through ... into the 'junk' folder !!
But no photos for some reason ??
There was a note saying there are attachments but none appeared ??
She told Sharon to contact a guy named Terry via text and include the photos
His number is 0408 774 307
The details are below
Text from Sharon to Terry with a link to the photos
Hi, Terry
We have been speaking to Mandy re trying to get these photos to you
Please let me know if this link works
If not I can forward them to you one at a time
https://photos.app.goo.gl/TPL9Vq4TJWeg6Qww7
The answer I received last night re the photos !!
No, all came through well
The turf is dry
It hasn't put down a deep strong root system as yet
That can take many weeks
All the established turf in the area is very dry already, and it has been there years
Soaker hose for an hour a day, preferably in the hot part of the day
Another note from Geoff to Terry
Saturday 25th September 2021
TURF AT TRINITY BEACH
Many Thanks, Terry, for your response to Sharon's text with the ten photos
We have been very vigilant with the water
Using sprinklers almost every day along with lots of hand-watering
We appreciate your comments - BUT - hope you don't mind this note below
There Are Another Two Photos Attached
These show the lush green grass ... spoilt by the dying bits !!
This is also evident in the ten shots Sharon sent yesterday
All these areas get exactly the same amount of water
You would have seen how the dying bits are "Long Strips Along With Full Pieces Of Turf" !!
And we ask why is this happening !! ... ... are they just "rotting" for some reason ??
Is it reasonable to ask if someone from Tropical Lawns could come and look at our front yard ??
And give us some advice on what can be done ??
Thank You ... ... Geoff and Sharon Roneberg
Reply from Terry
Hi, Geoff
I am happy to help and would be keen to look in if I couldn't see what has gone on
At some stage in the first week or so, the grass did not get enough water
Fortunately it is not buffalo or it would be dead
Zoysia has a very strong 'rhizome system' to recover from
Albeit slowly ... unfortunately it will take a little patience
ust give the brown bits a daily drink and check that the roots are taking to the soil
If you spread some Dynamic Lifter and water in, it will speed recovery
Rhizome System = https://www.google.com.au/search?q=rhizome+system&source
Tuesday 28th September 2021
Note from Geoff to Brett

PS #2 ... a little bit of "nice rain" overnight
Brett
Okay and Thank You !!
I’ll still get a fancy machine though
Geoff
NO !! ... NO !!
Please ... just a waste of money, Brett !!
Wednesday 29th September 2021
And another area has been cleaned up !!
"Before" and "After" Shots Are Below
I will be giving this, and the other side, some handwatering later today
Brett
You need a vacuum for sure
Merry Christmas !!
Geoff

Brett
Not bad at all !!
Friday 1st October 2021
Brett --- see what your Mum bought
A Non-Stick Frypan !!
So your Breakfasts will be 'PERFECT' from now on
Especially if your order "Pancakes" again !!
And she is buying Proper Dollop Cream tonight in case you do !!
It is your 'RDO Friday' today, isn't it ??
If so, Enjoy !! !!
Brett
If she can spend money - so can I !!
WooHoo !!
Geoff
Okay, Okay !!
The frypan cost $16.00 so you can spend the same !!

Monday 4th October at 9.30am
Note from Geoff to Brett
Went to Bunnings and bought a SOAKER HOSE !!
Two Photos Below
Absolutely Fantastic !!
With just a Very Small Amount of Water Pressure !!
Brett
Probably should do it morning and night
Not in the middle of the hot day
The greenies will come after you !!
Sunday 10th October 2021
Note from Geoff to Brett
Video HERE ... Thirty Seconds
Decided to use the soaker hose along the back fence line
Everything seems to be suffering along there !!
Just thirty minutes in two / three different spots
Monday 11th October 2021

Thursday 14th October 2021
A look at "The Dying Lawn" !!
Monday 18th October 2021

As you can see in the photo, trying the Soaker Hose on the Front Lawn
Gives good coverage without much wastage
Will do the Footpaths early tomorrow morning
Maybe / Probably with Hand Watering

Brett
He needs a hobby !!
Wednesday 20th October 2021
Note from Geoff to Brett
Decided to use the Soaker Hose on the Letterbox Lawn
PERFECT !! ... and there are Two Photos Below
This lawn was "suffering" a bit so I let it run for Fifty Minutes
And yes, The Tree got it's daily dose of H20 !!
Sharon reckons she can see improvement already !!
BRETT ... water costs lots of money
Do you want me to continue to use it like this ??
Plus the other three units are using it as well ... especially Number Two
Or do you want me to wait for the Rainy Wet Season !! ??
Brett
It’s all okay
Just keep doing what you have too
Every third or fourth day is fine
Thursday 21st October 2021
Note from Geoff to Brett
When Rachel came yesterday, she mentioned this stuff
We are going to give it a go !!
Only $7.50 for a litre and this covers 180 square metres
We will find a "patch" on the Patio Lawn and ""GO GREEN"" !! !!
Your Mother has an RDO Friday tomorrow
And as you know, she is going to spend $1800.00 on a "New Set Of Teeth" !!
Will let you know how it goes
Brett
Okay ... and Thanks
I won’t even bother trying to pay for it !!
Geoff
Good !!
Just hope it works !!
Sunday 24th October 2021
Note from Geoff to Brett
Two Photos Below
Got up early this morning and applied the 'Seasol'
From the gate and the first five rows of turf as per the photo
Concentrated mainly on the "bad / dying" bits
Here's Hoping It All Soon Turns A Pretty Green Colour !! !!

Email from Geoff to Brett
VIDEO ATTACHED ... Fourty Five Seconds
The Sprinkler going on the Patio Lawn
Sunshine in the Water Spray looks Terrific !!
Fertilized yesterday and watered today
Fingers Crossed !! !!
PS 1 - every single leaf was picked up and put in the green bin
PS 2 - the Drain Cover has had the piece of gutter guard added
Brett
I still have Messenger on
Just not Facebook for now
Video looks very nice
Don't forget the 'watering can' plant on the footpath !!
Geoff
Yes ... it was done this morning !!
Tuesday 26th October at Midday
Note to Sharon and Brett
LOOK WHAT JUST DROPPED INTO OUR YARD !!
Two Photos Below
A Very Well Built "Ash Moseley" Bird's Nest !!
So much work has gone into this by the Little Guys
Unbelievable !!
It is around 40cm x 25cm
There are two nests as you can see
And one photo shows that one nest had a broken / hatched egg
PLUS - a brand new one !! ... Poor Little Guy, eh, Sharon !!
And Wife, the nest is still in the yard for you to look at when you get home ... after tonight's Workout !!
Sharon
Oh, Dear ... Poor Babies !!
Brett
Too heavy for the tree ??
Geoff
Yeh, Brett, maybe !!
Who knows with Mr Nature !!
Wednesday 27th October 2021
Note from Geoff to Brett
Three Photos Below
Guess Where The Soaker Hose Was This Morning ??
Started at 6.05am !!
Brett
That’s good !!
The rains will come soon
Looks healthy anyway
Thursday 28th October 2021
Note from Geoff to Brett
There are Four Photos Below
The first two show the roof ... which is "as clean as a whistle" !!
The other two show the front gutter
(( yes, a bit out of focus but had to use 'a bit of magic' to get these shots !! ))
As you can see, there is junk and rubbish in the gutter
All of this is "YOUR CALL", Brett
But --- hopefully the next door neighbour was talking true
And that the shit-faced tree will be gone in a couple of weeks
I would leave the gutters for now ... and "HOPE" there is no heavy rain
Then, when the tree is gone, you, me and 'The Girl' will clean out the gutter
And the hassle will be solved !!
As I wrote above ... this is "UP TO YOU"
Brett
Okay !!
I’ll talk about it later
Tuesday 2nd November at 10.15am
And it is pelting down at Trinity Beach !!
Fourty Nine Seconds Video HERE
And you can See and Hear it !!
Hope it makes everything a Beautiful Green Colour !!
Brett
It already looks greener !!
Sharon
And you can still hear the birds, too !!

Dozens of guys, trucks, excavators, stop/go, etc, etc !!
Started work opposite #32
Took THIS Sixteen Seconds Video very sneakily !!
Another sneaky look !!
Thirty Seconds Video HERE
Removing the drain outlets ready for the new Kerb and Channel
I haven't got a clue what is going on with the videos
I still cannot see that the second one transmitted properly
BUT -- I have included it at the start of the new one that is attached HERE
In total, it runs for Fifty Five Seconds
Hope It's All Okay !! ?? !! ??
Brett
About the drain outlets ... can’t do anything !!
It’s council property anyway !!
Tuesday 9th November 2021
Lots and lots of activity on Anderson Street !!
They are working on our side - BUT - up the road a bit
Out of camera range - BUT - they will eventually be in front of #32 !!
And the new Kerb and Channel has been started across the road !!
I did not realise that there is a machine to do all the work !!
The last part of the video shows the activity going on up the road
Getting Closer !!
Video HERE runs for Thirty Seven Seconds
Hope it transmits properly ... not like yesterday
Please let me know
Brett
It works fine !!
Wednesday 10th November 2021
Video HERE - Thirty Four Seconds
Closer and Closer and Closer !! !!
The second part of the video shows that the Kerb / Cannel has been cut at the very end of the driveway
Hope it all works out and there is no damage or fuckups !!
And it looks like there is going to be a temporary gravel fill in, etc, etc
And it is now 9.45am Wednesday
As well as the earlier video above, there are now Seven Photos Below
And these show that there is "NO DAMAGE" to the driveway !! !!
Also took a bunch of videos during the morning which I'll get organised soon
You were right !!
As well as the Video Above and Photos Below , there are Two More Shots Below
A Crusher Dust Temporary Driveway Access !!
Brett
Oh, really !!
Who’d have thought it !!
Thursday 11th November at 6.45am
Fourty Seconds Video HERE
All ready for some Kerb and Channel !!
Probably starting at the Hill End

Brett
Who knows
Will be nice when it's finished
Laying the new Kerb and Channel
One Minute Nine Seconds Video HERE
Friday 12th November at 6.45am
There is a Thirty Two Seconds Video HERE
Along with Two Photos showing each side of the driveway
A lot of back-filling work now has to be done
Plus organise the drain outlets, etc
HAVEAGOODDAY !!
Brett

I told you they know what they are doing !!
Geoff
Forgot to tell you the Soaker Hose got a good workout yesterday
One Photo Below
Three Positions all along the back fence
AND ... the Footpaths will get "A Million Litres" once the council has finished !!
Brett
Okay ... Thanks
Friday 12th November 2021 at 3.15pm
Just been out and gave the "Street Tree" four x two litre watering cans
It was a bit thirsty !!
Four Photos Below
Soil fill along the rear of the kerb and channel
And a crusher dust base along the front
The drain outlets are being organised as you'll see
Nothing has been completely finished
I wonder if they'll work tomorrow ?? !! ??
PS -- Dear Brett -- it is Fucking Hot out there !!
Brett
It’s hot here too, don’t worry !!
Saturday Morning at 6.45am
!! - !! - UNBELIEVABLE - !! - !!
Had the watering can in my hand going out to look after "The Street Tree"
But I was Beaten !!
A Huge, Huge Council Water Truck was just going past
It had a special side outlet nozzle and EVERYTHING GOT FLOODED !!
All the footpaths, new soil, crusher dust, etc
And the truck went past THREE TIMES !!
Fan-Bloody-Tastic !!
PS - no photos cause I didn't have the camera with me
Sunday 21st November 2021
The big water truck went past again and flooded the footpath !!
Brett
How do you know ??
Stay out of the sun !!
LOL
Sharon
Ha Ha ... it was me !!
I was cleaning up the outside garden
Monday 15th November at 11.45am
As you can see in the Photo Below, the concrete Channel has now been linked from one side of the driveway to the other
You also notice that the temporary driveway has been dug out
I guess this will be put back later
BUT ... maybe the asphalt is going to be poured today ?? ... ... Who Knows !!
2.30pm now
As you can see in This Shot, yep, the driveway has been closed
BUT ... ... a temporary access has been organised just to the side
All Is Good In Trinity Beach !!
Brett
Hope we don't need to drive over the grass too much
Geoff
Agree !! ... hope the asphalt is done tomorrow
9.00am Tuesday 16th November
As you can see Below, the temporary driveway has been relaid
One of the guys said that the asphalt may not be done until next week
BUT ... as I've mentioned a couple of times, Who Knows !!
Just nine o'clock on Wednesday 17th November
BRETT -- it looks like they are digging up the whole road !! !!
There is a Thirty One Seconds video HERE
Along with Two Photos
!! !! - UNREAL - !! !!
And they'll be in front of #32 very soon !!
Brett
Taxpayer dollars at work !!
Geoff
Ten o'clock now
Looks like I may have guessed wrong
They are not going down the street
Just went a little bit wider
And a grader is on the job as you'll see in the Fifty Five Seconds Video HERE
Must be going to finish this bit and then cut out more
Who Knows ?? ??
Geoff
It is now 3.15pm
GUESS WHAT ?? -- WE GOT NO WATER !!
There is a Twenty Five Seconds Video HERE and it shows a big road roller
The vibrations were too much for the water main under the street
And it broke !! !!
They are working on it now to get it fixed before tonight
Geoff
3.35pm --- water is all fixed, Thank God !! !!
Thursday 18th November at 7.30am
Here is something extra !!
Two Photos Below
Sharon and Brett
LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THIS GUY !! !!
Almost as big as the fan !! !!
Hanging onto the patio ceiling
Sharon
I’ll be checking out ceilings and walls before I sit out there again !!
Thursday at 9.30am
One Photo Below
No new work is happening ... still working on the bit started yesterday
TREE
Even though it says not to when rain is about, I have been spraying this
The bloody bugs are back having breakfast on the new growth !!
SHARON'S FRIEND
Mr Stick Insect is still hanging onto the ceiling !!
Brett
Mowing on Monday
Please spray those bugs
Geoff
Mowing okay
And the bugs get a dose every day ... rain or shine !!
Friday 19th November at 8.00am
Four Photos Below
They started a new section of road a bit further up the hill
Looks like in front of #32 will be done next week
Also included are two shots of the "Excavator Machine" ( Profiler ) that's doing all the work !!
Profiling (also known as cold milling or pavement milling) involves the removal or partial removal
of the surface area for a paved area such as a road, bridge or car park
As well as preparing an area to be resurfaced,
profiling allows the material removed to be recycled and re-used in repairing the surface
Monday 22nd November 2021 at 8.00am
One Photo Below
And it shows that the'Profiler' is working on the other side of the road and heading up the hill
I guess that #32 must be going to be done later in the week
Tuesday 23rd November at 7.45am
One Video HERE ... Fourty One Seconds
And it shows what is happening on "The Patio Lawn" right now !!
Like yesterday, the Council Guys are working the other end of the street
The "Footpath Tree" is still getting it's Daily-Double-Dose-Drink !!
Sharon
Lawn looks great
Birds are loud !!
Brett
Lawn is so green !!
Wednesday at 8.00am
THE PROFILER AT WORK !! !!
Thirty Three Seconds Video HERE
Getting closer to #32 !!
Two Photos Below As Well
And these show the view from the Gate
I don't reckon they'll get to #32 today
Maybe tomorrow ?? ... and that might muck up the Mower People !!
Brett
It’s doesn’t matter about the mower
They will all work in together !!
Thursday 25th November at 7.30am
All the workers are halfway up the Hill !!
Nothing happening out the front
Little bit of rain overnight
Grass is nicely damp
But I don't think it is too much to stop the mowing
We'll See !!
Thursday at 10.30am
The Profiler Is Hard At Work !!
Outside #32 !!
BUT and BUT and BUT ...
The cutout area is nowhere near as deep or wide as the other spots !!
Maybe this part of the road is not being renewed
Just along the New Kerb and Channel
Who Knows !!
VIDEO ATTACHED = Fourty Five Seconds
PS - temporary entrance is going to be done
Friday 26th November 2021
There is a Fourty Four Seconds Video HERE
This is what Anderson Street looked like at 6.30am
Ready for the asphalt / bitumen, I reckon
Maybe today ??
It's now 3.15pm Friday
Nothing has changed in the Street
And it looks like all the guys have taken an "Early Friday Minute" !!
Thursday 25th November 2021
Note from Geoff
9.35am and "The Mowers" have just turned up !!
Brett
I’m sure it will look polished when it's done !!

More good rain overnight
Just what the place needed after all the mowing yesterday
Every unit was mowed plus the carports and footpaths !!
Thursday 25th November 2021
Note from Geoff to Brett
It's now around 10.45am
This sign was put up in the last half hour or so
(( reference unit three )
Friday 26th November 2021
THERE ARE FIVE PHOTOS BELOW
#01 = I noticed this thing when going out to the road ... to be nosey !!
#02 = and yep, it crushed one of the plants
#03 = what is in the bag ??
#04 = a chair !!
#05 = packed it up and left it here
We don't need it or want it ... DO YOU ??
If not claimed, it will be in the council bin next week
I'm guessing it was thrown over the fence for some reason
Or maybe, it belongs to someone who lives here
Will wait and see what happens
Brett
Can only maybe be Unit One
Otherwise bin it
Sunday 28th November 2021 at 1.00pm
Note from Geoff to Brett
Drain Grill Covers In All Rear Yards
All the "Drain Grills" have now been done !!
Covered in 'Gutter Guard'
Brett
Nice !!
Hope they cleaned out the rocks in the drains too
Fingers crossed ... but don’t ask !!
Geoff
Unit One and Unit Two told us that they cleaned out the drains
Not sure about Unit Three
And remember, they told us and we did not ask !!
Monday morning 29th November at 6.15am
Another note to Brett
More Terrific Heavy Overnight Rain !!

Tuesday morning again 30th November 2021
Four Photos Below
LOOK WHAT ELSE DROPPED FROM THE SKY LAST NIGHT !!
And it is huge !!
Sharon reckons there are four / five nests in the bunch
Could not see or hear any little kid birds
It is now in the Council bin ready for collection later today
Brett
Very sad
Hopefully they’re all grown
Sharon
Like the photos but that is not a flattering pic of me !!
Geoff
The photo is Perfectly Okay
You were being a Nurse and Veterinarian !!
The clock has ticked around to 7.45am Tuesday 30th November
There are Council Workers + Trucks + Profiler, etc, working way up the Hill
From here, it looks like they are digging up more road
Probably means that nothing is going to happen outside #32
But as we mentioned yesterday, that is okay ... we got a Driveway !!
Wednesday 1st December at 7.50am
All the work is going on near the top of the Hill again
Brett
Okay
Taken at 5.30am Thursday 2nd December 2021
Four Photos Below
#01 to #03 = bandage because of the fucking dog !!
#04 = grass / lawn almost all covered ... fantastic !!
PLUS - I've got a Doctor's appointment at midday today
Brett
I hope the Doctor goes well
Be open to what he says
I’m looking at getting it as I want to travel again
So see what he says for you and Mum
Grass looks great !!
Thursday at 7.30am
LOOKS LIKE TODAY MIGHT BE THE DAY !!
#01 -- lots of guys standing around doing nothing
#02 -- cars and trucks going past with "ASPHALT" written on the side
#03 -- I can't see any sort of "laying machine"
Bloody Hell !!
Hope it doesn't all happen when I'm at the Doctors !!
Brett
It would be funny if it does - LOL !!
Geoff
NO - IT - WOULDN'T !! !! !!
Thursday 2nd December 2021
Note from Brett
Is it all done ??
Geoff
YES -- IT WAS ALL DONE DOWN OUR SIDE OF THE STREET WHILE I WAS AT THE DOCTORS !!
Lots of videos ... and I'll send these tomorrow
Friday 3rd December 2021
6.55am -- and I'll be sending you Six Videos very soon ... half hour or so
You'll probably get lots of "beeps and buzzs", eh !!
Brett
Okay, I guess !!

Thanks for the videos's
But it's very hard for me to get excited about something happening on the road that we don't own !!
If it were my own place, then maybe ... sorry
I watched them and the final look is great but that's what we pay taxes for
Rather see the Green Grass Grow !!
Geoff
... ... ... and so would we !! !!
Geoff
And all the linemarking has now been done

"The Pathway Garden"
What do you reckon about snipping the overhanging branches ??
Back to the edge of the concrete ??
I would like to start now
And Sharon and I would finish it over the weekend
OKAY ??
Brett
Go ahead
I’ll come out Monday and do it though if you can wait
Geoff
I - AM - READY - TO - GO !!
Brett
Okay, but don’t push it
Cut it back further than the concrete though and to about waist high
Geoff
The Job Was Finished At 7.15am
It looks a million times better / looked after !!
There is a Fifty One Seconds Video HERE

Looks good though
Thank You, and now Rest Up

As you can see in the Four Photos below, filling / top dressing is being done along the footpaths
They are currently doing across the road
I spoke to one of the guys, and our side will be done later
Brett
Will definitely need to keep water up to it when they do
Geoff
AGREE !!
Soaker hose will be put to good use !!
Brett
It’ll just go into the street
I’ll be happy to come do it
Geoff
NO !! ... it is our job, eh !!
I will start handwatering tomorrow morning
Brett
Do what you need too
Geoff
OKAY !!
Geoff

Lovely Perfect Rain at Trinity Beach !!
Wasn't much but enough to wet down the New Soil spread yesterday
Note from Geoff to Brett
SURPRISE !! -- SURPRISE !!
Watch THIS Thirty Three Seconds Video !!
And they also have a water truck ready to go !!
Brett
You said I’d be so happy ??
I thought it was going to be something fun
Not just grass ... Ha Ha !!
Oh, well
Thought the big tree was coming down actually
Geoff
A couple more shots of the "Grass" are Below !!
PS -- I think the Big Tree got a "reprieve" !!
There is another Thirty Two Seconds Video HERE

"Water, Water Everywhere"
Good Morning, Mr Unit Complex Owner
There is an Eighteen Seconds Video HERE
Taken at 6.00am today ... and it was raining / pouring
I was holding an umbrella over your Mum while she was filming !!
LOOK AT THE WATER COMING IN UNDER THE FENCE !!
Just a bit too much for the drain to handle
BUT - it is rushing out into the street so it will clear away soon
It is now 6.45am and a lot of the backed-up water has already drained away
Brett
That’s why the ground is on an angle
So the water won’t flow to the house
Working perfectly, I say !!
Geoff
ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY !!
And now 99% of the backed-up water has drained away !!
Geoff
A Final Note
8.30am now and every drop of water has drained away
JUST - lots of twigs / leaves / rubbish left behind to rake up !!
Sunday 16th January 2022
