The Electricity Trench

The trench has begun! The trench is around 300 metres long. It runs from the house site down to our shed. On the shed we have 32 solar panels installed, which are connected to the grid to sell our electricity = small or no electricity bills for us!

The trench runs across our winter creek. In this trench will be the electricity cables, telephone, network, pipe to pump rain water from shed water storage, pipe to pump dam water for use on our garden.

Here is the beast at work.....I mean the machine not the husband......rofl

Slab preparation begins!

The slab is getting ready! Plastic down and steel supports going in.

The centre support of the house has a 1.2 metre deep channel. This will be filled with cement.



It rained this week so the channels filled with water, turned out to be a good millipede trap :)

Dolomite in and compacted!

They are getting very very close to putting the slab in YAY!

The top shot shows the first load of dolomite in and ready to spread, the final two shots are the dolomite in and spread and compacted.

We went yesterday and walked around our little bit of compacted dolomite and OMG it is HUGE!

I can't wait, I can't wait.............not long and we'll have a house :)

The house site

The house site has begun!
The man got to play with his toy and lots of dirt.
We pegged out the area, made sure it was facing the right way (North) with the aide of a compass (he's got a scouts compass ya know!) the car's sat nav and a bit of farmer's knowledge we worked it all out.

We banged in a few star droppers, then started to measure, using two very long tape measures to get it square.

Before long it was done, the front end loader brought out and the fun began (for the man).
He's moved 100 cubic metres of sand and 100 cubic metres of clay.

There's still a little bit more work to go, like putting the sand somewhere and getting the levels exact, but the man will be onto that soon I'm sure :)

The Road

Heading from the top of the road down to the back of the dam is our new road,
cleverly cut out by the man of the valley :)
We are up to 14 loads of road rubble that has been brought in, thats a truck and trailer equaling to 30 tonnes each load.
We need 17 loads to finish it off, so not too many to go!

In between loads the man has been leveling it out. It's great to actually drive up 'our' road....it's quite exciting in fact.

The culvert completed!

Here is a shot of the complete culvert from across the dam. Looks pretty good hey!
