Ah Sandy,
twas ever thus.
Connecting my NBN required the digging of a shallow ditch from a central box to my house, ten meters or so.
Three workmen turned up around 2 PM on Friday and by 4PM managed to dig about eight meters across the lawn, then packed up and I was told they would have to come back on Saturday morning to finish it. After they left I snuck out and completed the trench in about ten minutes.
Had that smug satisfying feeling the next morning listening to the argument outside my window between the foreman and the workers.....Time and a half for Saturday work dontchaknow!!
