My life, on line!
The HOUSE WE BUILT!
Mum and me, building our house from the ground up…
Digging in…
05 years
Today the digger arrived, it (and it’s driver) has come to dig out our lake while there is no water in it because of the drought.
I hope that by the time I move my goats here there will be plenty of water for them all year round.
The drivers name is Robin, he seems to know what he’s doing. He found out pretty quick that the lake is WAAY deeper than we thought! He nearly fell in!
He dug out several swamp kauri logs and balanced his digger on them so he didn’t sink in too far. He will be back tomorrow, I hope he catches some eels for lunch!

Our living room floor took AGES to finish! There were SO many boards! Each board needed two nails for each nog so they don’t move or squeak, they needed to be tight so they won’t shrink!
Finally we finished putting the boards down, I managed to fit the last one in with a bit of help from my hammer…

From this…
To this!
Then, when we had finished the floor we had to clean and varnish it, there are three coats of vzarnish and each one needs 24 hours to set. We put the last coat on on the 07.02.2020 but we didn’t get back to see how it looked till the 14th. What do you think?
