Kendall Street

 Icon
 

It's a long time since I've been able to get clear photos of the workers on this site. I like those photos the best but, due to the lovely big trees lining the other side of this road, I can't get an angle down onto the top of the site from anywhere.

Together with Hargraves Street, this is the most difficult site in the Gosford area to photograph. But it's a pretty fast-moving site and will be finished quite soon and I'll get some nice snaps of the exterior painters and landscapers and the plants and tables going in on the balconies as the first residents move in.

All photos on this page taken on the 17th of March 2018. Trial and error have proven there's nothing I can do about any strange gaps, changing fonts/typefaces, etc. It's dodgy code.

Inside work has begun on the Icon building site, with windows and doors going in to make it weatherproof and ready to be fitted out with fixtures and, eventually, furnishings.

Gentlemen, with so few opportunitis left to me for shots of you at work on this site, I hope to photogrpah you working on another local site soon. Meanwhile, I'll get what photos I can until that final tools down on this site.


 Vue 

My camera and I arrived at this site at smoko so there was a lull in activity on the site but the gates were open, the helmets were on and it was a hot Saturday morning of hard construction work.

A good sturdy cage made of lots of anchors tying the wall into the hillside behind it, lots of re-inforced concrete facing and, behind that, close-packed re-inforced concrete pylons going down into the earth.

The garage level for the residents' cars is to be poured very soon, as soon as that rocky ground it will sit on has been tamed to the last inch.

The slope on this site, before digging was begun, was on a par with the slope on the Wilhelmina Street site in West Gosford. The steepest site prize still goes to the Hargraves Street site (just along the road from these two Kendall Street sites. The site with the biggest hole to be dug is still held by the Wilhelmina Street site, 'Harbour View'. But the site with the biggest boulders to be dug out definitely goes to 'Vue' in Kendall Street.


 Locally Owned Locally Made Gosford

For the last couple of weeks I've been putting out the call for local tradies to email me their work contact details and what sort of work they do for a free listing on this website and, when I get the time to add to it again, on my other site: Locally Owned Locally Made Gosford.

And I've just realised I left out a whole slab of local contractors and businesses and makers and growers by just calling for tradies. So any locally owned business or any local maker or grower can send me their work contact details and a bit about their work or business or agri-business. Tell me as much as you can and I'll edit it down so everyone gets around the same amount of screen space as everyone else.

It's FREE but it's for small and medium sized LOCALS ONLY. None with ownership outside the NSW Central Coast and its hinterland suppliers.
