It is possible that, 9 months into a 6 week remedial works at my building, I may have a rather pessimistic outlook on construction.
Recently they added the first layer of balcony waterproofing in 95% humidity on the saturday morning of a weekend forecast to have Sydney's biggest storms in months. The engineer had literally called them to say 'Don't do that, numbnuts', but they still did it.
Their solution was to nail black tarpaulin directly into the gutters, but then they didn't tie it down properly so for four days it flung around like a set for Pirates of the Caribbean. "Arr, me sand layer be causing deep rooted bubbl'n, and ye balcony now be pumice."
A horse would have done a better job and I certainly wouldn't let one on the balcony.
Frankly, @beelzebub I'm slightly uplifted to have interacted with someone who seems a proper construction professional able to articulate a project plan. It's like having a night parrot land on your balcony - if one were to have a functioning balcony, that is.
I feel your pain...
Some things go belly up 😞

I say this as someone who thinks racing can eat a bag of soil-enhancing byproducts and that Caulfield would be much better served if racing got out completely, but if we have to live alongside them then we have to account for the stakeholders.
That said, you can definitely bank on them exaggerating the impacts and messing with the project parameters just because racing's hierarchy likes to make people burn themselves with cigarettes just to prove their submission.
I'll play Trivago again
It's pizz easy. Seriously.
Remove top ( i.e turf... with sports /tracks to a depth of around 200 mm . Store ... or.... have new turf growing ready to lay.
Cut trench. Compact sub base to 98% hard..
If any services required to inner .. do at same time. Install precast tunnel sections.. recover over with appropriate sub-bases and soil. Relay turf... aerate .. water... Replace rails.
That is as hard as it gets. As far as a tunnel goes.
A horse wouldn't even know anything had happened.
Depending on how long a window you had available Id probably take in any plant needed for terraforming then.... might need to crane it out later. You could lay temporary access apron but there could be risk to track. Craning sounds excessive... but could remove all plant in 24hrs .
There is nothing about this project which actually IS an insurmountable impediment.
There's only agenda.

10 hours ago, monoccular said: It would tend to give support to those who consider the AFL and MRO as perhaps a bit corrupt.
The old adage or justice needing to appear to be done would have an institution claiming, even trumpeting integrity, to have an alternate MRO and Tribunal Chairman to consider cases involving the club that both of the existing officers are part of.
Like a bit dead..... bit pregnant .... kinda thing 😉

All 4 guys on the Couch, including ex Pie Buckley, agree it is always at least a week suspension.
Continues the favoured treatment of Collingwood which has the least penalties of any team in the AFL.
I’d say it was a joke, but it actually isn’t funny, it’s just disgraceful administration of a major national sporting organisation.
No explanation needed..
Fish and rotting.......

1 hour ago, chook fowler said: Just watched a replay - 2 things stood out - The Kolt had an impressive second half and Cross’ efforts resulted in 3 goals apart from that beauty that he kicked that seemed to turn the game.
First half... well especially 1st qtr...
We were in poor positions and passed to poor positions...and did it... you guessed ...poorly .Handballs executed without real regard. The ideas of the kick passes maybe seemed good to the player but looking on just looked off. All like gears not meshing.
Some declutched and reselected during the second. Passages of play started to resemble good football.
3rd .. Gears and engine working in sync. Classically we started to get traction and start going somewhere
4th.... someone flipped the N20 switch !!
A lot of players started to play cohesively.
Funny ..in a way, the main difference between 1st and 4th was 1/2 a metre...and a split second. These differences changed how the players were in relation to each other and to opponents
Whatever was said at qtr time started the ball rolling . They reset at half time.

19 minutes ago, praha said: I watched the replay.
This might seem hyperbolic but after quarter time we actually had shades of our 2021 team.
Dare, well calculated risks, strong defense, composed under pressure... I even saw some of those shades in the Freo game, some passages that were just awesome to watch.
We had 56 points with 12 minutes left in the last. We ended with 100. We haven't seen something like that since the '21 Grand Final. Few teams have done that. Just absolutely blew them away. And EVERYONE standing up.
We are still going to cop it a few times this year. And that first quarter was pretty flat... but wow, our turnaround after quarter time was mesmerising. Even only kicking the one goal in the second, you could tell we were picking up the pace.
And well you might...
As we were succumbing to the Pups that day the lads were encouraged, ne emplored to play "footy" .. there's no next week to worry about, play to your strengths, your instincts. We won because we effectively ditched the playbook of the time.
FFWD >>>
King's ethos and edicts: Yes there's a few 🙄 different ideas about setups and plays etc but the underlying ethos is to go out and play to your strengths....and a bit of follow your gut. Trust the basics, trust your team-mates , .... trust yourself
( same as on that 2021 day 😉 )
and there might have been shades of bang Bang BANG out there yesterday 🤔
