It's been an exciting and busy week, with the slab for the Trainbarn all set to pour on Monday. Block walls are up, filled with 200 cubic metres of fill, packed down, drilled, etc, etc!! It certainly will be strong!
It was one of those beautiful Granite Belt Autumn days today, getting cooler each night, but beautiful clear days. Let's hope it stays that way over the weekend!
I'm installing several electrical outlets in the slab so that there won't be any cords for people to trip over around the layouts. Our sparky had the clever idea to join them together to help their alignment in the wet concrete.
Here they are with their cover plates on, which will be removed when we're ready to fit the pop-up outlets. There will also be two above floor outlets, under the two 'permanent' layouts.
Although I've been watching all the concrete preparations intently there's nothing for me to be involved in, so I've been continuing the clearing along our main vehicle track, which is virtually the 'spine' of our property. The main object is to make the cleared track wider, so that we can get it properly surfaced, with deco, and install proper drainage. I've found it very interesting though, tidying up the bush further out from the track, removing all sorts of dead wood and thinning out the tea-tree. It's quite nice bushland, but in many places it just hasn't been visible before now.
An excellent week all round!!
