A few weeks back we were having some terrible vibrations throughout the building. I tried to explain that they were removing concrete segments and the blinding layer ceiling underneath St Kilda Rd.

Here is a video that shows what was happening.

A few things to note

• The camera does not move – the back wall keeps moving away from the camera
• The camera is about at Bowen Lane / St Kilda Rd looking south
• If you look closely, you can see a ‘thin’ layer of ceiling concrete that falls away (with some help) at various points. This was a temporary layer laid to give a solid base to lay the concrete lab onto. Called a ‘blinding layer’. It was these chunks falling that caused us the grief
• In the final shot, the top right of the scene is immediately in front of The Botanica, near our front steps

Enjoy
