Electric Pit Installed

Went pass the house today and found that electric pit has been installed. A very doggy work, called United electricity to have hole fixed as it is dangerous to pedestrians

After second reminder, they came and fixed it.


Updated Council about the completion of demolition work

Demolition

Melbourne City Demolition are here and started demolition..It will take 2 weeks for it to complete.



  
House gone:

Finally..Something happened

Something moved- Tenant vacating the property. Received Asset Protection permit
Called United electricity in relation to electric pit. Told to wait some more days. After 1 month received email with quote, paid the amount – would take 20 working days to install
What a surprise – electricity and gas meter removed
Demolition could proceed now

Start the demolishing process

We finalised Melbourne City Demolition to perform the demolition as found Lucas quite helpful.

• Gave tenant notice to vacant the house – 60 days
• Applied for Asset Protection Permit - $2200 ($2000 deposit)
• Applied for electric pit installation(United Energy)
• Applied for removal of electricity meter(after house is vacant)
• Gas meter removal – This was hardest as it need to be raised by Account Holder(the tenants). The supplier were Dodo that have no clue about the process. Eventually request tenants to raise this
• Got the tree removed

Wait now……………………………………………
