trip south and front wall.

Hey all. Haven't made any updates lately because we took a little family trip to Victoria for a family get-together at Lev's uncle's property, to celebrate a 50th and 80th. It was a beautiful spot with some beautiful people. Here's a few pics.








After spending a week recovering from the mammoth trip (hours in the car and on three planes) Lev has gotten stuck into fixing our front wall. We've had a few strange dogs coming into our yard so it's become a high priority. Plus the fence sort of fell/was pulled down.

the fence when we bought the place.

prep for footing.


The tall side closest will need to support a swinging gate so is structural with rio extending deep into footing and filled with concrete.




Obviously there's a lot more to do. Render, put the hinges on for the gate and add the wooden slats to make it like the rest of the front garden wall. In time. You can also see the roofing iron (185 linear metres) we had delivered last week. So next big job when the rain eases will be replacing the entire roof.
