  • Clearing old Trees

    Started to clear out the top of the site. There are about 6 trees here which we will need to to remove. Most of them are old fruit trees which no longer produce a decent crop.

    Time to use that bargain electric chain saw I bought many years ago (I knew it would be usefull someday)!

  • Nailed Shauns Finger !

    Yes our first accident while using a nail gun. Shaun was hold the otherside of a post when I fired a nail into it at an agle. To steep an angle ! The nail passed straight through the pad of his finger (ouch)! Amazingly there was almost no blood. I took Shaun back to the house and cleaned the finger and sat Shaun down for rest…
    Its my fault because I didn’t check if Shaun was clear of the firing line !

  • Started building! (Temporary living area)

    We have started to clear the ground for the extension to the storage shed which will be part of the temporary living quarters while we build the main house.
