Finishing Touches

The Great Room viewed from the kitchen door

Ok we are just about done. All we need is the light fittings and for our belongings that are in storage to be delivered. That and a bit of carpentry here and there.

The Bathroom - waiting for the shower panel

Shelf above the bed head

Planks painted with a mixture of Carboleum and Raw Linseed oil

Earthworks

Unfortunately we were unable to use a Back Actor or Skid Steer without causing damage so all the earth and rock moving was  done by hand.

Retaining wall to be planted

We terraced the bank using stone found on the property

What it looks like with most of the rubble removed

Most of the rubble has been removed and except for connecting the Solar Power system to the main distribution board and putting in the light fittings we are ready to move in. Our appliances and some of the contents of our previous house - currently in storage are being delivered on Wednesday.

The earth has been shaped and terraced ready for some strenuous planting.
