Shed Progressing

Finally I've finished the outer shell of the shed:
This meant that I could start pouring the dirt floor:
It's fairly clayey soil and probably would have been okay without cement, but I gave it 1:10 cement to be on the safe side.

Meanwhile, after Kath's Cabin went next-door to become Gary's cabin, I was able to continue the alignment of the toilet pipe that we put between the septic and the cabin. To cover it while gradually inclining towards the house I built a retaining wall behind which we have herbs and veges. The pipe now only has 3 metres till it gets to where our propose inside toilet is to go:
You can see the end of the pipe taped over at the bottom of the photo.

Best wishes to all,
Steve

Fountain installed

We bought it a month or so ago and took a little time putting a garden around it (Violets). We put a picnic pergola over it for the time being to cut down on evaporation, but later will build a metal dome for wisteria to grow over it...

Good on Lesley for insisting on getting a fountain - it's lovely to hear the water trickling.
