    Brilliant Mark, a bit of Italian and the chuckle brothers thrown in.
    That’s not going anywhere with all that steel in there. 👊

    The reason the steel passed inspection, is because most inspectors dont know what they are doing. The U bars on the sides, prevents shear and delamination

      Hi mate. We dug out next to the house foundation that was there and it was on a raft so inspector made us do the same. I think the ground was just made up on top soil too 👍👍👍
