An opportunity has arisen to acquire two semi-built straw buildings that Amazonails need rid of at a knock-down price. The only hitch is, I need to get them out of the warehouse they’re in by next Thursday. So between now and then I need to dig 10 holes as deep as whatever the solid layer is under the topsoil, fill them with tyres filled with pea gravel, arrange for somebody with a big machine of some kind to get the things up the hill and onto the plot (challenging, as at the moment that means down a 10 foot drop) and onto these tyres.
So if anyone out there fancies a very exciting few days of digging and lugging stuff around, followed (hopefully) by watching a couple of 3mx4m buildings dragged/winched/pushed/rolled into place, followed by a HUGE self-congratulatory party, please get in touch via the contact page.
In other news, we may very soon have running water, as the water guy came and said the meter was a functioning one and we just needed to find the stop tap and turn it on. In case we find ourselves with any free time in the next week!
