Photos in rough order from May - July 2009


Our 40 ft container on Eastern boundary








400 bales and some hardwood poles on Western boundary









Reprofiling berm along Southern boundary











Reprofiled berm ready for terraces to be dug for food growing






Placing concrete water tank into berm








Water tank in berm. Micro-climates will be created around it for greater diversity in food plants







Site scrapped down to clay layer for house and adjoining shed/sleepout. View to the North showing Mt Maude







Old truck used for lifting poles. It belched out fumes something shocking! The sun rises over this mountain range







Worked commenced on constructing beam system on the ground after the initial profiling of the site; once the poles had been chosen, drawknifed and trundled over on the 'white dragon'!






And then it rained....................









And then it froze..............!









Timber collected from a closed down yard, sorted, stacked onto a mates trailor, unloaded and strip stacked on site. A slow process!








Partly full with the house timber i took down. Greg built most of this stacking system








The remains of the house i took down.
