Quick Garden Update

The Vege Garden is coming along rather well, but it needs a little more love and time spent with it. Which is a bit of a challenge as we are not living on site. So it tends to do it's own thing, and I tend to the garden only once every 2 weeks. Not ideal, especially for the kinda of plants that bugs like to eat.

Watering the garden is an issue, I've brought a seeping garden hose and attached that to a water timer onto the Garden shed water tank. I kinda don't think this is working too well.  It worked really well to start with, and dripped water really well, but it doesn't seem to drip as much as it started too, so I might need to take another approach to the watering side of things.

We Have Piles! Lots of Them! YAY!

We have piles!! Well in the building sense that is. Whoever thought that getting piles could be so much fun!

A nice surprise this weekend to see the piles, the foundations of our home have gone in. 

You can now get a sense as to the size of the house. I'm kinda hoping the house will be big enough.

 

Below is the view that we will have from the deck.

Consent To Build Has Been Granted! Finally!



Yesterday we finally received the building consent! It's seems to have taken forever... but now the building company can start building! YAY!  So we should have a lot of new & interesting photos coming through soon on the build!

Oh... and we've been told we need to create a 45,000 litre water reserve for fire fighting purposes.... so we are building a rather large garden pond! Something I wanted to add in eventually, but it will be on a much larger scale! Awesome!
