Concrete sweet concrete - finally

The finished house block
Nice!
They worked fast - keeping up with the trucks

The trucks lining up

A concrete pumping truck makes a lot of sense

At sunrise before the crowds

The new footing blueprints meant more steel and deeper beams

Setting the boxing up

Our future work pit

Shed pad with the bolts for the frame set in the concrete

-in the correct spots (hopefully)

The "helicopter" makes everything nice

Nice day for concrete

"A picture is worth a thousand words"

Ice skating anyone?

Concreting is hard work

Finally, we are pouring concrete

10th Week - Back to normal

Jesse assembling a garden at the house

Tanya using the laser level to map the upper swale to encapsulate our garden on farm

Jesse surveying the area for the best location for the swale

My new partners in crime - Jesse and Tanya

That is a lot of steel for just a shed

The new and improved slab

The rain is gone and the concreters are back

The resident wallaby at the house

A very wet 9th Week

As soon as the sun came out after the rain, so did the flowers

Out future work pit looked like a swimming pool

I had to hook a inverter up to the ute to power the sump pump

The cattle watering hole that we cleaned out filled up in two days

The Bookookara creek even had some small rapids

All the dams filled to the brim

A lot of water coming in to the property from the culvert at the road

Yes, we had some serious wind gust - according to the news it blew hurricane force at the coast

The 7th and 8th Week

Just another landscape picture
Digging down the water pipes

Putting some sandy gravel around the poly pipes

"The Alaskan pipeline"

It took me a long time to unwind the heavy poly pipe

Neat and tidy

75 meters from tanks to shed

6 electrical conduits coming out of the battery room - yeah, that is a lot of pipes

Digging the trench

This is when it is nice to have a small excavator on site

The new poly pipes for potable and irrigation water from the two top tanks
