Will it ever end?

Tiny says "Will it ever end?" because keeping on top if OH&S, chasing away the hopping wildlife and generally sticking her nose into and micro-managing all aspects of the build is very exhausting. She is however, so looking forward to the "Christmas in July" party being planned.

A few weeks recess

What with the roof done, it will take a few weeks to get the next stage going. That is the wooden framing. In the meantime I've given myself a little roadtrip holiday to mark the occasion. You can read about my trip, if you are so inclined, at this website: https://littlelocaladventures.blogspot.com Here is a preview of the most idyllic of locations I have seen so far...

"Casablanca" from the drone

A few shots from the drone. Roof and gutter installed

A load of bullshit

I have just taken delivery of 25 tonnes of bovine manure from a local feedlot. Equivalent to 2,000 bags from the local temple of the big red hammer, but only 10% of the price. Paul reckons I'll need three of these loads... The roof is slowly coming together as the roofers can only come a few hours a day as they have other jobs on the go. This time the gutter brackets are attached.

I have built a hay shed!

A little more progress on the roof. Still needs trim and gutters.
