Patio concrete has been poured

Well, its taken us about 10 years to finally get this done, but we have and that's the main thing.

The concreters came last Thursday and set out the form-work and then yesterday they came back at 5.45 to get ready for the concrete truck that was due at 6.30 (he arrived at 6.15)so with everyone here early we were off to a flying start.

I'll add the video so you can see.

Since the concrete

when the concreter was at our place I mentioned to him if he had any "dirt" that we would gladly take it. Would you believe he rang two days later with 3 loads of dirt from a property in Beaumaris. So now we have some dirt on the back to the dam so once the grass grows it wont get yucky when you walk on it. And also just around Edna's tree and in front of the first compound that we made. i think in a couple of months it will look fabulous.

Concrete for Pergola - 17 June 2009

Well the concrete has now been poured and looking fantastic. Only waiting now for Alan to build the pergola. Should be good.

Also the carpenter is coming tomorrow to add extra wood the the garage so the ceiling doesn't fall down again.

First home made video of photos

This is my first effort of creating a video from photos as well as adding music. Think I'm pretty clever at the minute.

The dam is almost dry ....

A few years ago we were quite confident that our dam would never dry up but sadly it almost has. This is the most dreadful drought I'm sure it will go down in history as this.

three weeks ago the most dreadful bushfires ravaged our country. 1500 homes were lost with 208 lives lost plus hundreds of animals. it is a great sadness people have suffered so badly.
