Big huge freaking massive tanks ...

...have arrived on site and we realised our hole dug with the excavator isn’t big enough.
Here are some photos of our first trenches for the toilet block – we are lining this with black foil to prevent the sides from collapsing. The structural drawings have been referred to in earnest and appropriate reinforcement has been added and tied down. We need to pour the concrete for this footing ASAP as it might rain on the weekend or next week, and we can’t risk the trenches getting flooded. We have ordered 1.8 cubic meters of concrete from Boral to arrive at 12.30 on Saturday – Christian’s birthday, and also the first Concrete Pour for the house.
We have hinted (well not so subtly) that instead of a birthday present, he might like his ‘trenches dug’. Hopefully we have a great turnout of friends as our weekend workforce, and a bbq and beers on site.
