Day 219 Nabiac Saturday 12th January 2013

Hi folks,

It was quite lovely when we arose at 7. Air cool and crisp sun shining. By 9 it was hot and by 12 baking.

First up the shipping container was moved from the front car park. I took the opportunity to have a look at Andrew's concept yesterday. The side has been cut out and welded in a frame which can be raised or lowered with hydraulic rams. Inside he is converting it to living quarters for woofers/helpexrs It is not finished but it has great potential. His feeling is that it won't be an economical commercial proposition. It is very cleverly done. I'll try and get an inside picture.

On  the way inside

I think it needs to go back a bit more

Yup back a bit

Contact!

The eagle has landed! This is the front.
After some pottering with the irrigation in the recycling paddock I was out in the  east paddock with the water trailer helping some trees cling to life. It was jolly warm and I was perspiring a lot. After lunch I started painting the front of unit 2 after investigating why the towel rail had fallen off the wall and replacing it.

Susan worked  most of the day up until 630! made filling for Enchiladas for tea, stripped cabins and did loads of washing, watered gardens, cleaned the shop, cleaned the shed and set it up for the vintage car club tomorrow and finished sewing the chairs.

The weather this afternoon was a bit odd. A large storm cell went through Taree with the weather radar showing black areas which is the heaviest precipitation possible. We only caught the edge but had some fierce winds. The up shot was the power was off here for several hours and in most of the Manning Valley. After tea we relaxed in the pool as more light rain began to fall and until it was invaded by children.

The light rain has stopped and now it is warm and humid. It is also bed time,

night night
