Blocks ready

Continuing on from the activity yesterday, here are some pictures of the building site ready for laying the blocks on Monday.  The blocks are stacked ready to lay.

A closer view of the concrete footings with the 'starter' rods in place.

I couldn't resist playing adult Lego and stacking a few of the blocks up.  There will be two rows of blocks at the front and then a 200mm concrete edge of the slab, so this photo shows the approximate height of the slab at the front.  The verandah will be across the front here, and with the slope of the ground there will be two steps up from ground-level to floor level.

I love the bushland area where we live, and we normally see quite a bit of wildlife, mainly Eastern Grey kangaroos and various wallabies.  Lots of the gumtrees have different types of caterpillars in them at the moment, and I happened to see this 'train' of a different type this morning.  It was about 6m/20' long, not sure where it was heading, or what these hairy little guys will turn into, but here's a photo of the 'train' surmounting an obstacle.
