Week 3

Week 3 was as expected. We had to wait until the site dried out enough for trucks to come in and remove excess soil. Apparantly over 30 truck loads of soil were removed.

Not much happening next week. Waiting for the bricks to arrive from South Australia. They should come Thursday or Friday. I'm hoping week 5 will show some big differences with bricks starting to get laid.

Need to make a decision about a pool. Worried that we might run out of cash, but on the other side, if we don't do it now we may struggle to do it later as diggers tend to make a mess. The way I see it is we've already got a mess now so let's dig another hole? Going to need a permit first. We'll see.

Week 2

Footings went in this week despite the rain we've had.

 Things might slow down now until the site is dry enough to clear it of all the excess soil. Bricks and water tanks can then be delivered as soon as the site is ready. Then the bricklaying can start.
