The Piering
We have been advised by our culturally challenged (PC term for superstitious) relatives to drop some coins into these piers for good luck. We learned that some over zealous home owners would pour as much as $50 worth of coins in each pier. I would have opted not to drop a coin, as I have no belief whatsoever to such frivolity but I did not took chances with the spirits 🙂
The Blacktown Council inspects these piers, presumably to confirm that the holes are deep enough. However, the inspector simply walked around ceromoniously, siting some holes in the process. Then the cement is poured, some time after 11:00 a.m. on the 15th of April 1996. On each pier, an iron anchor is set which will later be used to attached to the slab.
