Pouring the Container Footings – Part 1 – 22nd January 2019
Today we started ‘pouring’ the footing for the container office at the Nursery. A big step closer to getting the container off the road.

It’s that time again, and this time we can adjust all our newly installed adjustable solar racks.
It has taken a while but we are very pleased with them and the increase in efficiency is already paying off.
This week we set out to rescue the South Path wall – The first wall we built.
After suffering damage from multiple torrential storms and downpours it has started to fail in a serious way.
We have made a few Bee Hotels and have them hanging on the house deck.
They have worked really well and been occupied mainly by wasps and small native bees.
This was the first water habitat we created when we got here, almost 2 years ago.
But the growth of trees and shrubs around it has made it harder and harder to see, and therefore harder to see the birds that visit.
Today we continued building the back steps that take us from the back yard to the Orchard and the Compost bins.
Thanks to our friendly Rangers at Lamington National Park we have access to a hug amount of aged Forest Mulch. This is one of the major resources that we need for much of the work we do.
This has allowed us to continue extending the South Park path.
The rain we have received over the last few days has filled the big house water tank.
So I got to see the water tank overflow diffuser that we made in action.
We have paths that we have cut through South park and the Orchard, but they are incomplete and the paths are not connected.
So today we set about completing and connecting a number of bit of path.
