Onwards

On with the project...

I dug the foundations out for the concrete pad to be placed. It never ceases to amaze me how the dirt expands when you are digging a hole.

I think it worked out that I moved about 25 cubic meters of earth.

For a secure pad for the foundations to sit on, I had delivered 30 tonnes of metal base course (stones and sand) that's 3 big truck loads, it arrived on Friday my birthday, hurrah!

Had a very entertaining day spreading and leveling the site, I was a little tired, but still had the energy to celebrate. We both went out to a local bistro for dinner for 'the birthday' and the start of stage 1 of the build.

The food was brilliant, happy time, and like all 'responsible' adults, decided to walk home as we both had drunk a 'number' of relaxing wines.
